If speech is treating a patient for dysphagia, and they do a functional
swallowing assessment in the xray department, to see if the pt is
improving and not aspirating anymore, can you count the minutes the
speech therapist is assisting in the FSA toward minutes of therapy in
section P, or are they only evaluation? or could this be re-eval
minutes?(this is the 2nd FSA since pt is on skilled unit..)
Thanks,
Karen
