Question:

This is a question in reference to the same question asked in 2018. According to Optum Encoder, code 34808 cannot be used with code 34705 and 34706. In 2018, it was stated that this was a miss, they were aware, and it would be fixed with an erratum sometime in the future. Do you know if an erratum is still in the works or will it be left as is?
