For 68340 in Chicago, the physician’s office rate is $654.13 and the facility-setting rate is $386.93: a difference of $267.20.
The calculation uses a different practice-expense RVU for each setting. Both amounts here are physician fee-schedule amounts. The facility figure does not include a hospital’s separate charges, so this comparison does not tell you the total cost of receiving care in each setting.
