Using your own stationery

LMOs may use their own stationery or letterhead rather than a D904 provided that all the necessary information is included and legible. This includes but is not restricted to the following information:

• veteran's name
• veteran's DVA file number (shown on the Repatriation Health Card)
• veteran's date of birth
• veteran's address
• veteran's clinical details (including recent illnesses, injuries and current medication, if applicable)
• condition to be treated
• description of the requested service
• LMO's name and provider number and
• date of referral.

For referral to any health care provider, it is the LMO's responsibility to provide the above information about a veteran to ensure that the provider understands the veteran's medical history and to allow the provider to claim payment from DVA.
