Abstract
- The article discusses how U.S. practices can ensure the payment for multiple diagnostic tests performed on the same day is correct. It cites the application of the Multiple Procedure Payment Reduction (MPPR) on diagnostic imaging and the payment methodology instituted in 2013 by Medicare when more than one diagnostic test was performed by a single physician. It also notes the ophthalmology codes subject to MPPR and the calculation errors made by some Medicare Administrative Contractors (MAC).
