What documentation is required beyond diagnosis codes?
Sample Letter of Medical NecessityWaiver programs typically require a signed prescription or order specifying the equipment or modification, diagnosis codes supporting medical necessity, and brief clinical notes describing how the patient’s condition creates the functional limitation the equipment addresses. For complex equipment like power wheelchairs or major home modifications, a letter of medical necessity may be required. We provide templates that include the specific language reviewers look for.
Which diagnosis codes result in the highest approval rates?
Diagnostic CodesCodes that clearly document functional limitation and medical necessity get approved most consistently. Primary diagnoses like paraplegia, MS, or Parkinson’s are straightforward. For patients with less specific conditions, pairing a primary diagnosis with secondary codes like difficulty walking, history of falling, or muscle weakness strengthens the case. We can provide code recommendations specific to your patient’s situation—complete the form above.
