The system selects a product SKU based on the determined set of possible diagnosis code combinations, the selected product, and the confirmed set of medical necessities. The system dynamically generates confirmations based on DMEPOS standards, and confirms the generated confirmations by electronical signature of the physician, where the confirmation with signature is recorded with a time stamp.
