Speech Aid Prosthesis Fitting

Vermont rates for HCPCS 21084

A custom appliance is designed and fitted inside the mouth with an extension that reaches back to fill the gap between the soft palate and the wall of the throat. Filling that gap lets a person build up air pressure for speech instead of losing it through the nose. The work covers taking the mold of the mouth and preparing the finished device.
