Extension Requests
 

With the depth of documentation provided in regards to extension requests, we would like an extension of the approval period from 3 month to 6 month durations. This would provide a more appropriate time frame to demonstrate effectiveness of interventions, family involvement, case coordination, and significant progress. All extension requests could then be accompanied by a new letter of medical necessity.
