A patient is undergoing heart variability biofeedback. What is the correct code for this type of biofeedback therapy?

90901
90911
90875
90876

Explanation

Answer: A - 90901 is the correct code for biofeedback training by any modality.
Code 90911 is incorrect because this is the code for EMG and/or manometry biofeedback training for perineal muscles, anorectal or urethral sphincter. Codes 90875 and 90876 are incorrect because these codes are for psychophysiological therapy incorporating biofeedback.
