Insurance got denied, what to do next?
Those 63,845 denials are 14.2% of every in-network denial recorded in Delaware in this release, which makes AmeriHealth Caritas VIP Next, Inc. the 2nd largest source of denials of the 2 insurers reporting there. Spread across its 9 plans in the state that is about 7,094 denials per plan. 79 internal appeals were filed against those 63,845 denials. Every one of those denials carried the same two dates the tool at the top of this page works out.
Two dates matter more than anything else on this page, and they run the same in Delaware 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.
