“Act as an experienced physical therapist specializing in insurance appeals and clinical documentation. I need to draft a denial appeal letter for a patient whose continued skilled PT services were denied by insurance. Help me write a professional, persuasive appeal letter that includes: (1) a clear opening statement referencing the denial and requesting reconsideration, (2) a summary of the patient's current functional limitations and why they still require skilled intervention (not just supervision), (3) specific clinical justifications tied to the patient's goals and measurable progress, (4) language that references medical necessity and the skilled nature of treatment, and (5) a professional closing that requests a timely review. Use a respectful, confident tone. Keep the letter to one page. Organize it with clear section headers. Leave placeholders like [PATIENT INITIALS], [DATE OF DENIAL], [POLICY NUMBER], and [SPECIFIC FUNCTIONAL GOALS] that I can fill in myself. Do not include any real patient information — this is a template I will customize.”
