A medical claim is an individual’s request to their health insurance company to cover the cost of medical services they’ve received. If a claim is denied, a patient can file an appeal to challenge the decision. This is important because it gives patients an opportunity to get the coverage they’re entitled to.
There are a number of reasons why a medical claim might be denied, from administrative errors to disputes over medical necessity. Whatever the reason, patients should not give up if their claim is initially denied. By filing an appeal, they can increase their chances of getting the coverage they need.
