Issue Identified and Corrected: Psychotherapy Procedure Code 90834

For: Professional and Facility Providers

A recent system update incorrectly identified procedure code 90834 (psychotherapy) as an add-on procedure to primary code G0464, which had been discontinued.

Resolution: Highmark has removed G0464 as a primary code for 90834. Moving forward, claims submitted with procedure code 90834 will no longer reject due to a missing primary code.

In addition, a claims clean-up has been initiated to address any impacted claims prior to the removal of G0464. These claims will be adjusted accordingly to ensure proper payment.

We apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have caused and appreciate your understanding.
