How to use this result

Payment estimate: use total RVU and non-QPP $33.4009 for Medicare payment review.
Productivity review: use work RVU separately; total RVU is not a physician productivity target.
Before relying on it: confirm office / non-facility, National Average, and payer-specific billing rules.

Review

Calculation formula

Total RVU = work RVU x GPCI work + PE RVU x GPCI PE + MP RVU x GPCI MP. Payment = total RVU x selected 2026 conversion factor. Non-QPP uses $33.4009 and QPP uses $33.5675.

Selected calculation assumptions

CPT: 32664
Setting: office / non-facility
Conversion factor: non-QPP $33.4009
Work GPCI: 1.000
PE GPCI: 1.000

Confirm code selection, modifiers, payer policy, and documentation requirements through the official CMS source files or billing review. Locality-adjusted estimates should be interpreted with the selected setting, GPCI locality, and QPP status held constant.
