What is Swallowing Evaluation (Bedside)? Read the full explainer →

Swallowing Evaluation (Bedside)

This is a clinical swallowing evaluation by a speech-language pathologist: an examination at the bedside or in a clinic room, with the patient actually swallowing food and liquid while the clinician watches and listens. It involves no X-rays or cameras — those are separate, instrumental studies with their own codes.
