Funding LUCI

Funding Toolkit

Given LUCI’s unique position in the healthcare landscape, we know that the justification for insurance coverage and medical necessity is uncharted territory. The following document has been developed for support as you navigate the process of acquiring funding for LUCI.

Writing a Letter of Medical Necessity

The following is a sample Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) designed as an example when including LUCI with a power wheelchair. This is not intended to take the place of a thorough seating evaluation. Any documentation provided by the ordering/evaluating clinician must be specific to the client’s medical and functional needs, and environments of use.

For Canadian coverage questions contact Lois Brown, lois@luci.com.

 

Describing LUCI in an LMN

While funding sources are still familiarizing themselves with the LUCI technology, we have seen that a concise, effective product description linked to the mobility related activities that LUCI most positively impacts can give your LMN a real boost.

Now, here’s your guide on how to do just that!

Attach LUCI FDA Registration Document to your submission

Easily put to rest any claims that LUCI is experimental by including LUCI’s FDA registration. As an FDA Class 1, exempt medical device, LUCI meets all associated requirements of the FDA and FCC. In addition, LUCI meets the applicable requirements of IEC 60601 for home use medical electrical equipment.
