I am confused on a swallow evaluation, the note says

Swallow Evaluation: patient awake, responsive, able to cough on demand, able tp handle own oral secretions. Patient has clear voice, not wet, hoarse, able to tolerate 90 degree position.

Looking in the CPT book I found

92610: Evaluation of oral and phayngeal swallowing function.


Would this be the correct code, or am I overthinking it and it is included in the office visit?
