By using KX you are stating that your claim has met specific documentation requirements in the policy. Documentation should be present that justifies why the beneficiary qualifies for medically necessary service in excess of the cap. The documentation would be in the medical records. Justification should include
Patients medical condition and diagnosis
Services provided; type, frequency, duration
An overview of the patients condition and progress
A statement of medical necessity to support further services
Example:
Mrs. Johnson has been affected by existing dx of RA which has affected her ability to heal or perform mobility tasks following knee surgery. As noted in the documentation significant progress has been made but PT treatment is still medically reasonable and necessary to progress toward long term care plan of independence as prior to the injury.
