Billing and Coding: Surface Electrical Stimulation in the Treatment of Dysphagia

This policy (A56584) provides billing and coding guidelines that complement Local Coverage Determination L34578 for surface electrical stimulation in the treatment of dysphagia. It does not itself define coverage, indications, limitations, documentation requirements, or frequency limits — those details are specified in LCD L34578 and should be followed for claims processing.

"This article does not specify clinical indications; refer to LCD L34578 for covered indications for surface electrical stimulation in the treatment of dysphagia."
