How to file an appeal

When Health Advantage denies a claim for benefits, the member receives an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) explaining the reason for the denial. The member has the right to file an appeal to request review of the denial of a claim in whole or in part.

An appeal must be submitted in writing. The appeal should include member name, health plan ID number, a reference to the claim being appealed (such as a claim number), and date and provider of service.

When to submit an appeal

You must file an appeal within 180 days after you have been notified of the denial of benefits.
