Health Insurance claim denied? Here's what you need to know.
If your healthcare claim is denied, you have the right to appeal. Health Insurance carriers are required to provide an appeals process. Typically there are a few levels of appeal, each moving more ‘independent’ by involving impartial medical professionals. Washington State also provides the Patient’s Bill of Rights which provides an independent third-party review of your appeal, if the standard appeals process is unsuccessful. http://WashingtonHealthInsuranceAgency.com provides assistance through the appeals process, by walking their health insurance clients through the steps, carefully tracking the appeal deadlines, recommending the best supporting documents, and even participating in the appeal discussion board via conference call on behalf of their clients. The most important thing to remember is that if you feel the denial is wrong, you have to appeal. Many people just assume there is nothing they can do. The New York Times recently reported a story about this very point. Remember, if you have the right Health Insurance Agent, you don’t have to go through the appeal process alone.
