An appeal is a formal way of asking us to review and change a coverage decision we have made. A standardized appeal request form is available. However, you may submit your request in any format.

Requests for appeals must be in writing unless the request is for a fast or expedited decision. Members must file their
appeal request within 60 calendar days from the date included on the notice of the coverage decision.
Exceptions may be granted if you have a good reason for missing the deadline.
To submit a fast appeal verbally, contact Customer Service at

When you make an appeal, we review the coverage decision we have made to check to see if we were following all of the rules properly. Your appeal is handled by different reviewers than those who made the original unfavorable decision. When we complete the appeal review, we will give you our decision in writing.
Specific questions about grievances, coverage decisions and appeals can be answered by our Customer Service Department.
