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 G0426 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (2.61 + 0.67 + 0.23) × $33.4009 ≈ $117.24. The same code in a facility setting pays about $117.24 because facility PE RVU (0.67) replaces office PE RVU.
