Letters of Medical Necessity (or LMNs) are regularly required to get equipment approved through insurance. These letters provide a detailed description of the patient's condition(s) or diagnoses that make the requested equipment medically necessary for their well-being. 
 
Unfortunately, many children are denied prompt access to needed equipment because their therapist(s) are unsure of how to request them or have not provided the necessary information required for insurance approval. 
 
We've created this resource to take some of the stress out of writing these requests and build your confidence in writing LMNs!
 
Included this resource, you'll have access to both a .pdf version and a .ppt version (with editable letter templates).
