Swallowing evaluation
About 92613: Endoscopic swallow study interpretation and report
Reports the interpretation of a recorded endoscopic swallowing study, such as a FEES used to assess pharyngeal swallowing and airway protection.
This service covers interpreting and documenting findings from a flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing recorded by cine or video. A speech-language pathologist or physician may assess findings such as pharyngeal residue, penetration or aspiration, and the response to tested consistencies or compensatory strategies. FEES is commonly used for patients with dysphagia when clinicians need to observe swallowing through the pharynx and larynx, including at the bedside or in an outpatient setting.
Report 92613 for the interpretation and report, rather than for performing or recording the endoscopic examination itself. The report should describe the relevant findings and their clinical significance, including how they inform swallowing recommendations when assessed. Code 92612 identifies the recorded endoscopic swallowing examination and is the closely paired service; the documentation should make clear which work was performed and reported. Distinguish this interpretation from a clinical swallowing evaluation without endoscopy and from a fluoroscopic swallowing study.
