A letter of medical necessity is a document that your healthcare provider can write to explain why you need a particular medical service, like a birth class!

Your insurance company may require an LMN in order for reimbursement. If this is the case, simply ask your provider at your next prenatal appointment. 

Chances are that they are very familiar with this and may even have a template they can use.

An itemized receipt is another form of documentation that your insurance company or HSA/FSA will likely ask for in order to reimburse the cost of your birth class.

A diagnosis code is a code used to identify a patient’s medical condition or disease. Diagnosis codes are typically used by healthcare providers for billing and insurance purposes.

Maybe! But most mamas in the MLN community pay with their own method first and then submit their itemized receipt to their HSA/FSA plan for reimbursement.

It never hurts to try using your HSA/FSA card – and if it is not accepted, know that you can go the reimbursement route.
