External review
Insurers in this state use the federal external review process (HHS-administered or private accredited reviewers). Your final denial notice tells you which.
Before you file
- Many people appeal to the insurer first and keep copies; a complaint generally does not stop appeal or lawsuit deadlines.
- Check whether your plan is state-regulated: self-funded employer plans are usually outside state jurisdiction.
- Use the complaint summary letter to organize your answers, then use the department's own form.
