A report live from this year's AAPC HealthCon shows some payers are accepting X modifiers in place of modifier 59 and more.

The Comprehensive Primary Care Plus (CPC+) model announced April 11 by CMS will work with private insurers to pay participating primary care providers a per beneficiary per month (PBPM) fee, allowing them to design their own care choices for patients, including services not currently paid under the Medicare fee-for-service model.
