How health denials usually happen

A denial may be triggered by a missing authorization, a medical necessity review, a network rule, a documentation gap, or a benefit exclusion. The denial letter often contains the most important information: the category used, the rationale, and appeal instructions.

Your first move is to request the specific criteria that were applied and to ask what documentation would change the decision. Then submit only the records that answer the criteria point-by-point.
