How Do I File an Appeal?

Our claims department also handles all appeals. You always have the right to appeal a determination within 45 calendar days of either a payment receipt or a denial notification.

All appeals of claim denials that result from authorization or medical management issues should refer to section 7.15 of the Provider Manual.
