Would anyone know if the modifier XP is a pricing or payment modifier?
I have a list of categories and XP is not listed in any category.
Thanks,
 
XE, XP, XS, and XU are more specific alternatives to Modifier 59.

The X modifiers just define more specifically why the procedure/service is distinct:

XE - Separate encounter, a service that is distinct because it occurred during a separate encounter

XP - Separate practitioner, a service that is distinct because it was performed by a different practitioner

XS - Separate structure, a service that is distinct because it was performed on a separate organ/structure

XU - Unusual non-overlapping service, the use of a service that is distinct because it does not overlap usual components of the main service
