It’s not an easy yes/no answer for me or Marvel to answer. The best first step in obtaining coverage is a solid letter of medical necessity from your doctor/PT/OT. We have a sample for you here:

Feel free to use it as a template, but be sure to only make claims that are genuine – some of the elements of the letter may not apply to you. The letter is a PDF. If you would like an editable MS Word version, please drop me a note.
