“A Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) is the written explanation from the treating physician describing the medical need for services, equipment, or supplies to assist the claimant in the treatment, care, or relief of their accepted work-related illness(es). … Medical Benefit Examiners (MBE) will weigh all evidence on file to determine if the medical evidence establishes medical necessity for the request.” - U.S. Department of Labor (.gov)
