Subject: Medical Necessity Letter for Verdie Larson October 3, 2055
Dear Claims Department,
I am writing to provide a detailed medical necessity letter for Verdie Larson, who is under my care. This letter serves to request approval for the surgical procedure of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, which is essential for the patient’s health and well-being.
Patient Information:
-
Patient’s Full Name: Verdie Larson
-
Date of Birth: October 3, 2045
-
Policy Number: PC-1234567890
Diagnosis and Medical History:
Verdie Larson has been diagnosed with symptomatic cholelithiasis (gallstones) and acute cholecystitis, as confirmed by abdominal ultrasound and CT scans. The patient's medical history includes recurrent episodes of severe abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, which have not improved with conservative treatments such as medication and dietary modifications.
Description of the Proposed Surgery:
The recommended surgical procedure is laparoscopic cholecystectomy, which is planned to be performed on October 15, 2055. This minimally invasive procedure will involve the removal of the gallbladder to alleviate the symptoms associated with the gallstones and to prevent potential complications such as acute infection or pancreatitis.
Rationale for Surgery:
The need for laparoscopic cholecystectomy is based on the persistent and severe nature of Verdie Larson's symptoms despite extensive conservative treatment. The gallstones have caused frequent and debilitating episodes of pain, significantly impacting the patient's quality of life. Alternative treatments, including dietary adjustments and pharmacological management, have been unsuccessful in providing relief. Therefore, surgical intervention is deemed necessary to prevent further deterioration of the patient's condition.
Evidence and Supporting Information:
Enclosed with this letter are the following supporting documents:
-
Abdominal ultrasound report dated September 10, 2055
-
CT scan results dated September 12, 2055
-
Records of previous treatments and follow-up visits
Prognosis:
The anticipated benefits of the laparoscopic cholecystectomy include relief from pain, resolution of nausea and vomiting, and a significant improvement in overall quality of life. Without this surgery, Verdie Larson risks continued suffering and potential complications that could further compromise his health.
I respectfully request that AgoraCore Insurance Company approve coverage for laparoscopic cholecystectomy to ensure that John Doe receives the necessary medical intervention. If additional information is required, please do not hesitate to contact me directly at [Your Company Number] or [Your Company Email].
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
Medical Director
