Medical records for enteral and parenteral nutrition should not resemble Local Coverage Determination criteria but should provide a detailed account of the beneficiary's condition. The records should include (but is not limited to) information on diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, functional limitations, and therapeutic interventions. Records should also detail past experiences with related equipment. Prescriptions are not considered part of the medical record, and supporting documentation must be maintained for seven years.
