Your doctor or other provider may be asked to provide a “Letter of Medical Necessity” to your health plan as part of a “certification” or “utilization review” process. This process allows the health plan to review requested medical services to determine whether there is coverage for the requested service.

A letter of medical necessity is typically written by your healthcare provider and includes your diagnosis and duration of the treatment. It should also include the reason why the treatment, product, or service is needed. A letter of medical necessity does not guarantee that your expense will be approved.
