By taking the conversion factor x the Non-facility RVU's should equal the reimbursement for a procedure, correct?
Conversion factor is basically $36.08 paid for every RVU or portion of RVU whichever RVU total you use. If you are looking at the CMS fee schedule, you want to look for the appropriate "total" column as they break the RVU down to practice expense, work etc
For a .50 RVU service you are going to get about $18. For a 1.0 RVU service you are going to get about $36

If done in the office, yes. If done at the hospital, use facility RVU's. In addition, you need to take the geographic differences into account and not use the National RVU's but multiply by the GPSI.
I swear, the conversion factor has never been more "unstable" than it has this year!!
