Palatal Lift Prosthesis Fitting

Montana rates for HCPCS 21083

A custom-made appliance is designed and fitted for the roof of the mouth to hold the soft palate up toward the back of the throat. Lifting the soft palate helps seal off the nose during speech and swallowing, which improves slurred or nasal-sounding speech and keeps food and liquid from escaping into the nose. The work covers taking the mold of the mouth and preparing the finished device.
