Letter Requesting Financial Assistance from Organization Write this type of letter when you are requesting financial assistance from an organization. Include relevant details, such as the amount you are requesting, purpose for the financial assistance, and when you would need to receive the amount.

• The child is covered by the insurance.
• The diagnosis is a covered diagnosis (e.g., developmental delay may not be covered).
• The item requested is not an exclusion of the policy (e.g., physical therapy).

• Identifying information: child's name, date of birth, insured's name, policy number, group number, Medicaid number, physician name, and date letter was written.
• A statement of who you are: the child's primary care physician.
• The date you last evaluated the patient.
• The diagnosis of the patient. Think carefully about what diagnoses to include (include as many as possible) as some diagnoses may be an exclusion. One insurance refused to cover PediaSure for a child with a diagnosis of autism because it was an uncovered diagnosis; however, on appeal, they covered the PediaSure for the same child for a diagnosis of chronic constipation, a covered diagnosis.
• Pertinent medical history (e.g., for a wheelchair approval, it would be appropriate to state that the child has cerebral palsy with severe motor impairment).
• Document pertinent medical, developmental, or evaluative information. For the child with poorly controlled asthma for whom you are requesting a nebulizer, you would summarize what treatments have already been in place and how many ER visits and hospital admissions the child has had in the past year.
• Document why the requested evaluation/treatment/equipment is medically necessary. This is critical to the process, but unfortunately, the definition of medically necessary varies from insurance to insurance. Medicaid's definition of being medically necessary is:
  • Reasonably calculated to prevent, diagnose, or cure conditions in the patient that endangers life, causes suffering or pain, physical deformity or malfunctions, or threatens to cause a handicap; and
  • There is no equally effective course of treatment available for the recipient which is more conservative or less costly.
• A summary statement. In this statement, try to emphasize the logical conclusion (e.g., A nebulizer is medically necessary for this child with a diagnosis of asthma. Since this insurance covers the diagnosis of asthma and durable medical equipment is a covered benefit, it would be appropriate to approve funding for this child's nebulizer.)
• Signature, professional qualifications, and contact information in case the reviewer has questions.
• Keep a copy of the letter in the patient's file. You/the family will need it if you/the family need to file an appeal.
  

• Indicate which therapist evaluated the child for the requested equipment and refer to the therapist's report or letter.
• State if the disability is permanent or temporary and how you expect the child's condition to evolve over time.
• Give a rationale for replacing existing equipment (e.g., the child has outgrown their current chair and it was determined by the child's physical therapist that the current chair could not be adequately 'grown' to meet the child's needs).
• Emphasize how the requested item will prevent the onset of secondary disability or increases the individual's functional abilities, thus improving the child's overall condition.
• Avoid referring to caregiver convenience and/or doing 'nice' things for the child.

• Focus on how the service/evaluation/equipment will: prevent the onset of an illness, untoward condition, injury and or secondary disability;
• Reduce, correct, or ameliorate the physical, mental, developmental, or behavioral effects of an illness, condition, injury, or disability; and/or
• Assist the individual to achieve or maintain sufficient functional capacity to perform age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate daily activities.
