Swallow notes have to name the impairment, not the activity
Payers look for delayed swallow, residue, and aspiration risk — not ‘patient ate lunch’. Skilled language is the difference between 92526 paying and denying.
Speech-Language Pathology
Swallow evals, FEES, and AAC — with diet recommendations, device justification, and skilled-therapy language drafted from the session.
The problem
Payers look for delayed swallow, residue, and aspiration risk — not ‘patient ate lunch’. Skilled language is the difference between 92526 paying and denying.
Anatomy, secretions, penetration/aspiration, and diet trials need a structured impression. A SOAP dump fails the referring ENT and the coder.
SGD medical necessity needs communication diagnosis, trial data, and why a lower-tech option failed. That is a letter, not a session note.
How Augustun fits
Bedside swallow evaluations capture diet trials, signs of aspiration, and recommendations from the session conversation.
Endoscopic swallow impressions and AAC evaluation findings are structured separately from daily treatment notes.
Speech and dysphagia session content is written so timed and evaluation codes have matching skilled language.
Bedside swallow notes, FEES reports, AAC evaluations, and SGD letters of medical necessity.
