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 G0500 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (0.1 + 1.86 + 0.03) × $33.4009 ≈ $66.47. The same code in a facility setting pays about $5.34 because facility PE RVU (0.03) replaces office PE RVU.
