Disputing A Denied Claim
Health insurance is expensive and being denied for a claim can be frustrating or frightening, depending on your budget. If you think your claim has been wrongly denied, your insurer does not have to have the final word. To help you deal with what can be an overwhelming situation, the Kaiser Family Foundation has prepared a special report, “A Consumer Guide to Handling Disputes with Your Employer or Private Health Plan.”
In this comprehensive report you’ll learn the steps you need to take, including preparing an informal appeal down to your state’s external review program. The guide does not cover disputes you may have with your Medicaid or Medicare insurance.
Remember, even if you don’t currently have a denied claim, it’s important to be familiar with your plan’s appeal process in case one does occur in the future.
To learn more, access the full report.
