What are the benefits?
The MBSS physician is specifically trained to supervise and interpret radiology examinations, will analyze the images and send a signed report to your primary care or referring physician.
The MBSS is the preferred choice and Gold Standard in evaluating dysphagia. Speech Matters goes above and beyond with the quality of the evaluations, detailed report/recommendations.
A dysphagia evaluation not only benefits patients’ quality of life, but an MBSS is a cost saving for healthcare providers by preventing the need for treatment for pneumonia, and other problems, as well as re-admittance costs for the hospital. A MBSS can help identify the problem and assist in helping determine the best medical treatment options for the dysphagia.
