Act as an experienced physical therapist who specializes in patient advocacy and clear communication with insurance companies and care teams. I need to communicate an insurance coverage issue to multiple stakeholders. Draft three separate messages: (1) a compassionate explanation for the patient and their family explaining that insurance has denied or limited coverage for continued therapy, (2) a professional update to the referring physician informing them of the coverage issue and requesting their support if appropriate, and (3) a brief internal note for my clinic manager summarizing the situation and proposed next steps. For the patient message, include reassurance, explain their options (appeal, self-pay, modified treatment plan), and maintain hope. For the physician message, be factual and collaborative, and mention if a letter of medical necessity might help. For the manager note, focus on operational next steps. Keep all messages clear, respectful, and solution-focused. The denial reason is: [describe the denial reason, e.g., 'max visits reached' or 'lack of medical necessity']. The patient's current status is: [briefly describe where they are in recovery]. Do not include any real patient names or identifying information.
