For urgent requests, please select an Expedited Independent External Review in your application.
Submit this request as soon as you receive the initial notification from your health plan that your service, treatment, or item has been denied. You will still need to file an internal appeal with your health plan. Unlike the standard process, DO NOT WAIT for the internal appeal process to be completed.
You must also submit a Physician Certification Form confirming that the service, treatment, or item is lifesaving.
Request a Review of Denied Health Insurance Claims
If your health plan has denied covering a service, treatment, or item, you may be eligible to request an Independent External Review. This review allows you to submit information detailing why a service, treatment, or item should be covered and have your case reviewed by an independent third party.
If the review organization determines the disputed request should be covered, your health plan will be required to do so. Independent review decisions are final and binding.
