BlueKC 98941 Denials

The KCA is aware of a significant increase in denials of CPT code 98941 by BlueKC, effective May 1, 2025. We have been in contact with the Provider Relations department of BlueKC and are working with them to determine the cause and the best way to correct the issue.

At this time, it appears that an edit was applied incorrectly in their system. We will keep KCA members updated on this issue as we receive more information.
