OK Next Step - Medical Necessity

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I need to get a referral from my primary care phys to get the ball

rolling. It's for an out of state waiver, which I think is doable if

what I am going for is not offered in State and is a medical

necessity. Searched on here found the question raised a few times but

no real responses. My prim care phys has no clue what to put because

he found about resurfacing from me. (FYI - through my explaination

and what he has read he thinks it's great.) Has anyone had any

sucessful experence with this? I think the biggest hangup is going to

be why this is a medical necessity vs a THR. I am sure they will

counter with something like - you can have a nice 'ole THR right here

in MA.

Thanks,

Ken
