Any tips on how to successfully appeal an insurance denial?

Posted by pjebp @pjebp, Sep 16, 2021

I have been denied twice now from my insurance company to get my care at Mayo. I am applying for the final time. If it is denied again, what is the next step? Has anyone experienced something similar? What happened?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Cancer Support Group.

Thanks everyone I've learned a lot along this journey. I have much more to tell and I will get it written up and posted as soon as I can. The bottom line is that we appealed the final time to the IRO in the state in which we reside. We just learned this morning that the IRO overturned the denial! Next step is my radiation treatment and surgery.

exactly part of my point UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE would/could solve this, but you would have to control the greed of capitalism and their lobbyists.

I agree. Greed is a huge problem and everywhere!
