Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 92526 covers

92526 represents skilled therapeutic intervention for impaired swallowing or oral function used for feeding. A speech-language pathologist commonly provides it for dysphagia after stroke, neurologic disease, or head and neck treatment, and for children with feeding-related oral-motor difficulty. Treatment may include swallowing practice, compensatory strategies, and exercises selected for the patient’s functional deficits. This is therapy, not a swallowing evaluation or an instrumental study, and may be provided in outpatient or facility settings.

Report the service for a treatment session, with documentation of the swallowing or feeding problem, skilled interventions, goals, and the patient’s response. It is generally an untimed service, reported as one unit per session rather than in 15-minute increments. CMS treats it as a therapy service, so a professional component modifier does not apply. When it is among multiple therapy services on the same day, the practice expense for the second and later therapy units is reduced under the therapy multiple procedure payment reduction.
