Insurance denials and appeals

Insurance denials can often be appealed.

Internal appeal

You can ask your insurer to reconsider. Follow the steps and deadlines in the denial letter.

External review

If the internal appeal fails, you may be able to request an independent external review.

Doctor support

A letter from your doctor explaining medical need can help.
