sample letter of medical necessity for dental implants

Dear [Dental Insurance Provider],

I am writing to request coverage for dental implants for my patient [Patient Name]. As a healthcare professional, I strongly believe that dental implants are medically necessary for their oral health and overall well-being.

[Patient Name] has been experiencing severe discomfort and difficulty in chewing due to missing teeth. As a result, they have been struggling to maintain proper nutrition and have experienced significant weight loss. Additionally, their remaining teeth have been under significant strain, leading to further dental problems.

Dental implants would provide [Patient Name] with the ability to chew properly, improving their nutrition and overall health. They would also prevent further damage to their remaining teeth and help maintain the structure of their jawbone.

I have attached [Patient Name]’s dental records and x-rays, which clearly demonstrate the need for dental implants. Furthermore, I have included a treatment plan outlining the procedure and cost breakdown for your review.

I strongly urge you to consider this request for dental implant coverage as medically necessary for [Patient Name]’s oral health and well-being. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or require additional information.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
