Insurance got denied, what to do next?
Two dates matter more than anything else on this page, and they run the same in Tennessee as everywhere else. You have 180 days from the date on your denial notice to file the internal appeal, and then 4 months from the final internal denial to ask for an independent external review. If waiting would seriously jeopardize your health you can ask for both to be expedited, decided in about 72 hours. Both timeframes are federal, not your insurer's choice, 29 CFR 2560.503-1 (PDF) and 45 CFR 147.136 (PDF), in plain English at HealthCare.gov, and your own denial letter states the ones that govern your plan. The PDFs are the same sections on govinfo.gov, which serves them without a challenge page, so an automated reader can check these two dates as easily as you can.
You are not alone, and here is the measured version of that sentence, for Tennessee rather than for Alliant Health Plans, Inc., because the file left this company's rows empty: insurers in Tennessee denied 4,559,085 in-network claims in a single plan year, 20.1% of everything submitted, across 6 reporting insurers. How many of those came from Alliant Health Plans, Inc. is not on the record; that it happened to a great many people in Tennessee is.
- Find the reason code on your denial letter. The federal file records no denial-reason breakdown for Alliant Health Plans, Inc. in Tennessee, so this page cannot tell you which of the 9 categories yours will be, your letter can, and it has to. Copy the exact wording and the code off it tonight: that sentence is what your appeal has to answer.
- Ask Alliant Health Plans, Inc. in Tennessee for the clinical criteria they judged you against. Under 29 CFR 2560.503-1 they have to hand you the claim file and the policy they applied, free, on request, and you cannot argue with a checklist you have never read.
- Put both deadlines on your calendar before you go to bed. 180 days from the date on the letter for the internal appeal, 4 months from the final internal denial for external review. The free calculator on this page turns your date into the two calendar dates in about ten seconds. Nationally only 1 in 14,369 denials ever reaches the second stage, and none of the Alliant Health Plans, Inc. denials in Tennessee are in that count either way, the file records no figure for them. The date on your letter is the part that is certain.
None of those three steps costs anything. Anyone charging you to do them is selling you something you can do yourself in twenty minutes.
What happened to appeals
| Stage | Filed | Overturned |
|---|---|---|
| Internal appeal (to Alliant Health Plans, Inc.) | not reported | not reported |
| External review (independent) | not reported | not reported |
What that record means for your own Alliant Health Plans, Inc. letter, and by when. Alliant Health Plans, Inc. recorded no separately reported denials in Tennessee and no separately reported appeal outcome, so this page cannot tell you how its Tennessee appeals went, the Alliant Health Plans, Inc. rows in the plan-year 2026 release of the CMS Transparency in Coverage file, read September 5, 2026 (data.healthcare.gov). Whichever way that lands, nobody files the appeal for you, and the filing runs on a clock set by which plan you hold: an employer or Marketplace plan gives you at least 180 days from the denial notice to file the internal appeal (29 CFR 2560.503-1(h)(3)(i), carried onto individual-market coverage by 45 CFR 147.136(b)(3)(i)), while Medicare Advantage gives you 60 calendar days after you receive its notice (42 CFR 422.582(b)) and Medicaid managed care the same 60 calendar days from the date on the notice (42 CFR 438.402(c)(2)(ii)), both stages free, and the three steps above are the whole of what to do tonight, so take the date printed on your Alliant Health Plans, Inc. notice and file well inside whichever of those windows is yours. The free steps are above; the $29 kit is the same clock with the letters pre-filled for Alliant Health Plans, Inc. in Tennessee. One payment. No subscription. No cut of your claim.
Alliant Health Plans, Inc. inside Tennessee
Your denial did not happen in a national average. It happened in a state market, alongside 5 other insurers reporting into the same federal file, and these are that market's own figures.
- Across the whole of Tennessee, the 6 insurers reporting in this file processed 22,656,628 in-network claims and denied 4,559,085 of them, a state denial rate of 20.1%. Alliant Health Plans, Inc. is one of those 6.
- That puts Tennessee sixth of 30 states by denial rate, 1.4 points above the 18.7% national average, before you get to what Alliant Health Plans, Inc. did inside it.
- Tennessee recorded 14,943 internal appeals against those denials: one appeal for every 305 claims the state's insurers refused.
- Independent external review was reached 162 times in the whole of Tennessee, once for every 28,143 denials, against one in 14,369 nationally. How many came from Alliant Health Plans, Inc.'s denials is not on the record, that is the Tennessee figure this page names as absent at the top and sources at the foot.
- Of the Tennessee external reviews that were filed, 30 were overturned, 18.5%. That percentage is measured on 162 reviews, which is why the count beside it matters more than the rate does when you are deciding whether to file against Alliant Health Plans, Inc..
- The reason Tennessee's insurers record most often is administrative reason, 1,068,753 claims, 28.4% of the state's categorized denials.
- Every Tennessee figure in this section is that state's own row in the same federal file Alliant Health Plans, Inc.'s numbers above come from, CMS Transparency in Coverage Public Use File (PY2026 release, PY2024 claims), data.healthcare.gov — US Government public domain, and the full Tennessee page is free at /states/tennessee.
What the file does record for Tennessee
The federal file carries no usable figures for Alliant Health Plans, Inc. in Tennessee, so nothing on this page can tell you how often this company denies or how many of its denials were appealed. What it can tell you is the market that denial happened in: Tennessee's own row, and the 5 other insurers reporting alongside Alliant Health Plans, Inc. there. Every number below is Tennessee's, not Alliant Health Plans, Inc.'s, and it is labelled that way because an absent figure must never be filled in from a neighbor.
- 5 insurers in Tennessee reported a denial rate where Alliant Health Plans, Inc. reported none, from Oscar Insurance Company at 23.5% down to Celtic Insurance Company at 18.9%. The whole Tennessee table is published free.
- The largest single source of denials in Tennessee in this release was Celtic Insurance Company, with 1,645,943, its record is here. Alliant Health Plans, Inc.'s own share of that total is unknown, because its rows are the ones the file left empty.
- Across the whole of Tennessee the 6 insurers reporting in this file processed 22,656,628 in-network claims and denied 4,559,085 of them, 20.1%. None of that total is attributable to Alliant Health Plans, Inc.: an absent row is not a zero row, and we will not add one to make the arithmetic tidy.
- The reason Tennessee's insurers recorded most often is administrative reason, 1,068,753 claims, 28.4% of the state's categorized denials against 22.5% nationally. Whether it is the reason Alliant Health Plans, Inc. recorded most often is not on the record; your own letter names yours.
- Behind it in Tennessee: other reasons at 769,405 claims, then provider out of network at 474,470. Each of those pages says plainly whether external review reaches that category at all, which is the question a Alliant Health Plans, Inc. letter is going to raise next.
- Tennessee's insurers denied 4,559,085 in-network claims in this release, 20.1% of everything submitted, against 18.7% nationally.
- 14,943 internal appeals were filed in Tennessee against those denials, one for every 305 claims refused.
- 162 of those Tennessee denials reached independent external review, one for every 28,143, against one in 14,369 nationally.
- Your deadlines do not depend on any of it: 180 days from the date on your Alliant Health Plans, Inc. notice for the internal appeal, then four months from the final internal denial for external review, the same in Tennessee as in every other state.
- What does depend on Tennessee is who decides your case at the end, Tennessee runs its own external review process meeting the federal standards, so an insured plan there goes through the state program.

The Alliant Health Plans, Inc. figures on this page, the not reported denials, are this issuer’s own reported rows in that file. CMS did not report an external-review figure for Alliant Health Plans, Inc. in Tennessee in the plan-year 2026 release of the Transparency in Coverage file, which is why no external-review count appears above.
Counts: CMS Transparency in Coverage Public Use File (PY2026 release, PY2024 claims), data.healthcare.gov — US Government public domain. Rights and timeframes: 29 CFR 2560.503-1 (180 days, and your free right to the claim file) and 45 CFR 147.136 (4 months, and what qualifies), explained at HealthCare.gov. Expedited review is decided in about 72 hours under both sections.
Reading either regulation from a script rather than a browser: eCFR answers automated fetches with a challenge page, so the same two sections are mirrored as government PDFs at govinfo.gov (29 CFR 2560.503-1) and govinfo.gov (45 CFR 147.136).
