How the payment is calculated
Total RVU is work plus practice expense plus malpractice, each adjusted by its GPCI factor, then multiplied by the conversion factor. For 99447 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (0.7 + 0.37 + 0.07) × $33.4009 ≈ $38.08. The same code in a facility setting pays about $32.06 because facility PE RVU (0.19) replaces office PE RVU.
