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 G2009 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (3.28 + 1.94 + 0.24) × $33.4009 ≈ $182.37. The same code in a facility setting pays about $182.37 because facility PE RVU (1.94) replaces office PE RVU.
