  3. What happens next

    1. Internal appeal to the insurance company

      File in writing within 180 days of the denial notice. Ask for your complete claim file and the criteria they used. They must give it to you free. They decide within 30 days for care you haven't had yet, 60 days for care you already received.

    2. Independent external review

      If they say no again, request external review within 4 months of that final denial. It is run by the state where the policy was issued, usually your employer's home state (TX). The review is usually free. A reviewer outside the plan decides, usually within 45 days, and the plan must follow the decision.

    3. Urgent? Ask for an expedited review

      If waiting could seriously harm your health, say so in writing. The plan must decide within 72 hours, and you can ask for expedited external review at the same time.

  4. Get free help

    External review covers denials based on medical judgment ("not medically necessary", "experimental"), cancelled coverage, and surprise-billing disputes. A flat plan exclusion usually isn't eligible, but you can still file the internal appeal.

    If your plan documents say the plan is "grandfathered" (unchanged since March 2010), the external-review rules may not apply.
