The following question was received off-listserve:
We have been using many techniques treating oral motor dysfunction
and related speech problems. Could you tell me what ICD-9 code would
be appropriate to use for these cases?

The codes we use often are
Diagnosis: Dysarthria 784.5, Dysphagia 787.2, Poor suck 796.1,
Feeding Difficulties 783.3
Treatment: Swallowing Eval 92610, Swallowing Treatment 92526, Speech
