Schedule a Doctor’s Appointment
Step 1
Schedule a Doctor’s Appointment
It’s important to schedule a doctor’s appointment to obtain both a prescription and a letter of medical necessity for a Cubby Bed. Before your visit, review the document linked above and use our Safety Needs and Concerns Worksheet to write down your child’s safety concerns and any other solutions you’ve tried that didn’t work. The level of detail you provide is crucial to ensure your medical documents fully capture your loved one's need for a Cubby Bed and help your doctor understand why it's necessary.

Get a Prescription + Letter of Medical Necessity
After discussing your loved one's needs, ask your doctor for a prescription for a "Cubby Safety Bed" and a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN). If you have an occupational or physical therapist (OT/PT), we encourage them to write your LMN. However, if you do not have an OT/PT, a letter from your primary doctor is just fine. The LMN should detail your child's safety concerns, past solutions that didn't work, and why the Cubby Bed is the best option. To simplify your visit, we've prepared a packet of Required Documents, including instructions and a prescription form. Review these documents carefully, then share them with your doctor beforehand or during the appointment. Follow up with them to ensure they have everything needed and keep in touch to make sure the documents are finalized.
