Most insurance companies have criteria to determine whether they feel a service is “medically necessary.” This often means that each type of service is linked with certain diagnoses for which that service has been deemed appropriate. If your diagnosis does not meet the criteria for “medically necessary,” your claim may be denied. This does not mean that the service was inappropriate or unnecessary. In some situations, the claim may be approved when additional information has been sent to the insurance company.
