Start with a medical doctor with certification in rehab medicine, to order an evaluation by a certified Occupational Therapist. That completed evaluation goes back to your doctor for the actual order. That order should cover both specifications for the manual and electric. The rehab doctor know the exact verbage and terminology to use in any written correspondence. Best Wishes In a message dated 12/14/2009 11:48:20 A.M. Central Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
Good morning, I need some advice. Our insurance paid for a electric wc. My husband needs a non electric one. Our insurance will only pay for one wc every 5 years. My husband also has MA as a secondary. I would like to know if any of you have been able to get the insurance to buy both and how you did it. Did you have to write a letter of medical necessity? If so, what was the verbiage you used to get it approved? Thanks for your help. Kandy (husband is C-4 complete for auto accident on 5/10/08).
