A statement of medical necessity is typically required for services, but it does not determine whether a service is considered medically necessary and reasonable. The key factors for medical necessity and reasonableness include the need for a practitioner's skills, the ability to measure progress objectively, and the expectation of improvement within a reasonable time frame.
