A letter for your child’s doctor to complete and sign. It has spaces for the patient, the diagnosis (such as autism or dementia with a risk of wandering), why a GPS location device is needed to lower that risk, how long it is needed, and the doctor’s name, NPI, signature and date.

IRS Publication 502 describes medical care as costs for the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease. An item people normally buy for personal use counts only if it is used mainly to prevent or ease an illness or disability. The IRS does not ask for a letter, but many plans do. A GPS tracker may be eligible with your plan; check with your plan administrator before you buy and keep the letter with your receipt. Read IRS Publication 502 and IRS Publication 969 on HSAs and FSAs.

It includes every item Ontario lists for a core clinical services letter of recommendation, and it can serve as a letter of support for Jordan’s Principle or a letter for a US waiver or funder.

Jordan’s Principle helps First Nations children get the products, services and supports they need, without gaps or delays. A parent, guardian or authorized representative can ask by calling the Jordan’s Principle Call Centre, open 24 hours a day, at 1-855-572-4453 (TTY 1-866-553-0554), or through a regional focal point.

Include the quote as your cost breakdown and a letter of support from someone who knows your child. Requests are reviewed case by case, and Indigenous Services Canada recommends waiting for a decision before you pay. For Inuit children, ask about the Inuit Child First Initiative.
