What it is

A swallow study films the mouth and throat on X-ray while you swallow foods and liquids with barium. It shows whether food goes into the airway and is often done with a speech therapist after a stroke.

What the price covers

The price usually covers the X-ray part. The speech therapist's evaluation is billed separately.
