Claim-denial appeals (commercial plans; ERISA/ACA appeal rights)

An advocate can review the denial and help with the letters you send.

See advocates and book

Prices are set by each independent advocate and shown before you pay.

#3 Do it yourself

File the internal appeal

  1. Read the denial letter for the reason and the appeal deadline (often 180 days for commercial plans).
  2. Ask your doctor for a letter of medical necessity.
  3. Write the appeal and attach records.
  4. Send it in the way the letter says, and keep proof.
  5. Ask for the claim file.

Safety: Copy the deadline to your calendar the day you get the letter.

Stop and call a pro if: the plan upholds the denial: request external review.
