Medical necessity is crucial because it ensures that healthcare services are appropriate, justified, and essential for a patient's diagnosis or treatment. It serves as a guideline for providers and insurance companies to determine which services are covered, helping to prevent unnecessary procedures and costs. By upholding standards of care, medical necessity protects patient safety and promotes effective resource use in healthcare systems. Additionally, it plays a key role in legal and ethical considerations in medical practice.
