Appealing Insurance Denials for Medications
If an insurance company denies coverage for a prescribed medication, I support patients through the appeals process to challenge the decision. I carefully review the denial notice and work with the patient’s healthcare provider to gather additional supporting evidence or documentation to justify the need for the medication. I may also assist in preparing an appeal letter that outlines the medical necessity of the drug and how it aligns with the patient's treatment plan. I ensure that all required steps are taken to submit the appeal within the necessary timeframe, and I follow up with the insurer to ensure the appeal is reviewed and resolved promptly. My goal is to help patients overcome barriers to receiving their prescribed medications and ensure they are not denied the care they need.
