Fitting Of A Pin-Retained Palate Plate

Wyoming rates for HCPCS 42281

A custom-made plate for the roof of the mouth is put in place and held with small pins so it stays firmly seated. The plate covers an opening or a missing section of the palate, separating the mouth from the nose so eating and speech work normally. This step is the placement of the finished device.
