Wiki Speech & Swallow Therapy Billing

[JamisonJarman]

I am trying to bill Medicaid for procedure code 92526 and it is NOT permitted through our therapy services provider contract. Medicaid suggested that we find/use a different code for swallow therapy services. Has anyone had this problem before?

Does your contract cover speech at all or are you using the swallowing code because the patient needs both speech and OT as a co-treat?

Yes, our contract does cover speech. We bill for 92507 all the time. Now I am trying to bill for 92507 and 92526 treated in the same session on the same day.
