Tried & Failed Questionnaire

TRIED & FAILED QUESTIONNAIRE

Below is the tried and failed questionnaire. Most insurances request that you have tried and failed all of the less restrictive options before they cover a safety bed. Please make sure all have been tried and marked yes. If you mark No, your doctor will need to say in his notes why the less restrictive option was not tried.  

MM slash DD slash YYYY

Note to parent: These methods and why they have failed must be discussed within a recent office visit/medical notes as well as the letter of medical necessity. If you have not discussed these with your doctor, please schedule an appointment and let us know so we can send you helpful information to share with the office.
