A letter of medical necessity (LMN) is a clinical justification that supports the ordering of products. It provides therapists with the necessary clinical references, backed by third-party research, to demonstrate that the specified product is the best choice for an individual's needs.
An LMN should be used when there is a need to justify the selection of a product for an individual. It is particularly useful in demonstrating that the product meets the person's clinical needs based on an assessment by a qualified medical professional. While LMNs can aid in securing insurance funding, success is not guaranteed by Sunrise Medical or Leckey.
The Leckey sample LMNs below serve as guides to highlight the clinical benefits of Leckey products. When using a sample LMN, customize the content to fit the specific needs of the child/adolescent. The sample letters aim to streamline the approval process, potentially reducing lead times to get the equipment to the child/adolescent sooner to maximize therapeutic outcomes. Always ensure that the information included is relevant and specific to the individual request. Only use what is needed and be sure to customize the content based on the request.
