When Do You Need Health Insurance Appeal Letters?
Experimental Treatments
Most insurance providers do not provide coverage for experimental treatments. Before receiving your coverage, you’ll need to prove that the treatment meets these conditions:
- The medical community considers it a standard treatment
- It is less expensive
- Your plan has covered patients with similar conditions previously
Not-Medically Necessary Treatments
Insurance providers might deny your claim if the recommended treatment was not medically necessary. Ideally, you’d need written proof from your doctor or healthcare provider regarding why you need the treatment in question.
Health Care Setting
You’ll have to go the extra mile to prove that you need coverage for in-home care. First, your provider might require you to avail an in-home care plan they have approved. Also, you will need to show that your healthcare provider deems that in-home care will work better for you. In other instances, insurance providers will only pay for in-home care less expensive than hospitalization.
How Do We Use Appeal Letters for a Denied Prior Authorization?
Before starting the appeal process, our team takes time to understand the denial letter. We’ll assess why your insurance provider denied coverage along with the appeal process and timelines. Our team will also work with you to understand your insurance coverage and gather relevant medical records.
From the denial letter, we’ll find out the deadline for your appeal and where we’ll need to send it. Once we determine the available appeal options, our team will start drafting a concise letter for your appeal.
What Do We Include in Appeal Letters?
At Sustain Meds, we specialize in creating appeal letters that indicate why your plan should cover the claim. Our team will go into great detail about why you need the prescribed medical service. We’ll also affirm why your insurance policy covers the service, citing necessary policies. Surprisingly, many prior authorizations need to go to appeal because a provider’s office did not include the proper documentation. The appeal letter is a chance to get this sorted out.
The appeal letter will also include details from your medical provider. Our team will reach out to your provider and ask them to prepare a medical necessity letter. Besides, we’ll ensure that we cover prior treatments and the necessity of the current treatment. We use evidence-based information to give your claim the attention it deserves.
The elements of a successful appeal letter include:
- Patient credentials, policyholder name, and policy number
- Accurate patient contact information
- Contents of the denial letter, including the denial reason
- Medical provider’s details
