Struggling to Swallow? Let’s Talk About Why Instrumental Swallow Studies Matter.

Swallowing issues can be silent but serious—especially in infants, children, and adults with dysphagia. This Dysphagia Awareness Month, swipe through to learn the critical difference instrumental studies like FEES and MBSS can make in identifying aspiration and guiding safer treatment decisions.

See how:
MBSS uses X-ray to evaluate the full swallow
FEES offers a close-up view using a small camera
Both help ensure thickening or other interventions are truly needed

The right diagnosis leads to the right support. If you or someone you care for is struggling to swallow, ask your provider about a swallow study.

Did you know Medicaid reimburses thickener based on how much it weighs, not how well it works?

That means heavier, starch-based thickeners— which can break down in saliva and become unsafe—are often covered…
While safer, gum-based thickeners that stay stable (like Gelmix + Purathick) are not supplied.

💡 Some states have fixed this by updating Medicaid to reimburse based on actual cost, not just weight.

📣 You can help bring that change to your state too.

Your voice matters—and it could help families just like yours.
