[DYSPHAGIA] DPNS this weekend

[Bklogsdon2@aol.com (Bklogsdon2@aol.com)]

Hello,
In the Midwest (IN, KY, OH) our intermediary, Adminastar, recently clarified 
that SLP's are NOT to use the therapeutic exercise code for that portion of 
dysphagia therapy.  They state that "exercises" are an intrinsic part of 
dysphagia therapy and expected to be included.  This mention was in the 
August newsletter from Adminastar.  I personally would take that to mean that 
everything that is part of dysphagia therapy is to be billed under 92526.  I 
don't know of anyone who has used any other codes.

Brenda Logsdon, CCC/SLP
