Hi While performing MRI LUMBAR SPINE AND MRI CERVICAL SPINE ON SAME DAY ONE PROCEDURE GOT PAID 100% OF ALLOWED AMOUNT AND ANOTHER PROCEDURE GOT PAID ONLY 50% OF THE ALLOWED AMOUNT DUE TO MPPS (MULTIPLE PROCEDURE PAYMENT SYSTEM) PLEASE ADVISE WHETHER WE CAN ADD MODIFIER XS FOR THE ABOVE PROCEDURE OVERRIDE RULE. PLEASE ADVISE

It is typical that the first procedure pays at 100% and the other paid at 50%. No modifier will change the payment amount.
