It's possible to raise the pitch of the throat notes by carefully undercutting tone holes - a job that should be done by a skilled repair person with the player's input using the mouthpiece/reed that will actually be played on the instrument. There's a limit to this - the tone can be compromised if too much undercutting is done. It shouldn't be the first choice to correct flatness in the throat notes (or anywhere else), but is an available approach if all other more reversible fixes fail.
