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

What 92612 covers

This service is a flexible endoscopic examination of swallowing, commonly called FEES. A clinician passes a flexible scope through the nose to view the pharynx while the patient swallows test material; the recorded examination helps assess residue, airway invasion, and swallowing-related anatomy. Speech-language pathologists and physicians commonly perform it in outpatient clinics, hospitals, or other settings equipped for endoscopic swallowing assessment.

Report 92612 for performing the video-recorded endoscopic study, rather than for a clinical swallowing assessment without endoscopy or a fluoroscopic study. The record should support the endoscopic procedure and describe the swallowing trials and findings. If only interpretation and a report are provided, 92613 describes that service. CMS assigns separate office and facility practice-expense values, so the fee-schedule valuation reflects the setting where the service is furnished.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.
