NEDA TOOLKIT for Parents Anorexia nervosa is a deadly disease with a 10% to 15% mortality rate; 15% to 25% of patients develop a severe lifelong course. We believe that without intensive treatment in a residential program, [patient name’s and condition], and the medical complications that it causes, will continue to worsen causing [him/her] to be at significant risk of developing lifelong anorexia nervosa or dying of the disease. We understand that in the past, your case reviewers have denied [patient] this level of care. This is the only appropriate and medically responsible care plan that we can recommend. We truly believe that to offer a lesser level of care is medically negligent. We trust that you will share our grave concern for [patient’s] medical needs and approve the recommended level of care to assist in [his/her] recovery. Thank you for your thorough consideration of this matter. Please feel free to contact us with any concerns regarding [patient’s] care. Sincerely, [PHYSICIAN NAME] Cc: [YOU] Page  | 61
