Securing funding for complex rehab technology requires a comprehensive, accurate, and organized documentation package to demonstrate medical necessity. Key requirements include:

• A signed prescription from your physician for the complex rehab power wheelchair.
• A face-to-face mobility evaluation performed by a certified professional, such as a licensed therapist or a RESNA-certified Assistive Technology Professional (ATP), typically within the last six months.
• A detailed Letter of Medical Necessity that explains your diagnosis, functional limitations, and why standard equipment is insufficient, linking specific features like tilt, recline, or custom seating to your medical needs.
• A 7-element order containing patient and provider details, the device description, diagnosis, prognosis, duration of need, quantity, and a physician’s signature.
• A comprehensive product description outlining the wheelchair base, custom components, and accessories.
• Any insurer-specific forms, such as those required for Medicare power wheelchair prior authorization.
• Recent clinical chart notes verifying the long-term need for the equipment and current functional ability.

Working with a specialist team helps ensure all clinical and payer-specific standards are met, which reduces the administrative burden and helps avoid common causes of denial, such as vague language or incomplete clinical evidence.
