Narrative:
Routing northbound on J92 abeam MVA FL450 (block altitude 430/450) captain called attention to reciprocal traffic at FL450 and 12 miles at 11:30. Oakland center was queried. Response was that this was aircraft Y at FL450.captain initiated a right turn which was immediately followed by a TA. Traffic passed within 5 nm.
