## Resource

Medicare’s “medically necessary” rule is strict: it covers only treatments essential for diagnosing or treating illness or injury, not conveniences or cosmetics. Doctors must document clearly with records and orders, not outdated forms. If denied, appeals often succeed—especially with strong medical backing. Always ask for pre-approval before costly treatments to avoid surprise bills and ensure your care is covered. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
