services and supplies for the length of time required by the miner's 
condition and disability. 20 CFR 725.706 stipulates there must be prior 
approval before ordering an apparatus where the purchase price exceeds 
$300.00. 20 CFR 725.707 provides for the ongoing supervision of the 
miner's medical care, including the necessity, character and 
sufficiency of care to be furnished; gives the authority to request 
medical reports and indicates the right to refuse payment for failing 
to submit any report required. Because of the above legislation and 
regulations, it was necessary to devise a form to collect the required 
information. The form is the CM-893, Certificate of Medical Necessity.
