Common Ground Healthcare Cooperative reviews
This page carries no customer reviews and no star rating, because we have none to publish and we do not repeat anyone else's. What it carries instead is the only review of Common Ground Healthcare Cooperative that the federal file supports: it denied 9.6% of the in-network claims it received in Wisconsin, 143,772 of 1,504,864. Those are its own reported numbers, filed with CMS, not an opinion of ours.
Insurance got denied, what to do next?
Those 143,772 denials are 12.1% of every in-network denial recorded in Wisconsin in this release, which makes Common Ground Healthcare Cooperative the 4th largest source of denials of the 12 insurers reporting there. Spread across its 19 plans in the state that is about 7,567 denials per plan. 0 internal appeals were filed against those 143,772 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 Wisconsin 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: 143,772 in-network claims were denied by Common Ground Healthcare Cooperative in Wisconsin in a single plan year. A denial rate is a fact about an insurer's book of business. It is not a judgment about you, and it is not the last word on your claim.
- Of the 12 insurers reporting a denial rate in Wisconsin, Common Ground Healthcare Cooperative is the seventh highest at 9.6%. The highest in the state is 18.9% and the lowest is 6.5%.
- That is 9.1 percentage points below the 18.7% national average across this dataset, and 2.5 points below the Wisconsin average of 12.1%.
- Behind the percentage: 1,504,864 in-network claims were processed under 19 plans in Wisconsin, and 143,772 of them came back denied.
- For every 10,000 claims Common Ground Healthcare Cooperative denied, about 0 came back as an internal appeal. The other 10,000 stopped at the letter.
- Not one of those denials reached independent external review, the stage whose decision the plan is required by law to accept, and where nationally 32.8% are overturned.
- Its most-recorded denial reason is administrative reason at 61.2% of its categorized denials, against 22.5% nationally, a heavier share than the country as a whole. That is the denial mix, not an outcome rate.
- Common Ground Healthcare Cooperative accounts for 12.1% of every in-network claim denied in Wisconsin in this file.
- By raw volume it is the 82th largest source of denials among the 158 insurer-state records in the file that report one.
- After that, its second-most-recorded reason is provider out of network, 25,866 claims, 15.5% of its categorized denials.
- Third on its own list is referral required, 16,820 claims, 10.1% of what Common Ground Healthcare Cooperative categorized in Wisconsin. Between them the top three account for 86.7% of its categorized denials.
- Where Common Ground Healthcare Cooperative differs most from the national mix is administrative reason: 61.2% of its categorized denials in Wisconsin against 22.5% across the file.
- Read the other way round: 1,361,092 of those 1,504,864 in-network claims were paid, 90.4% of everything Common Ground Healthcare Cooperative processed in Wisconsin.
- Spread across the 19 plans it reports in Wisconsin, that is about 7,567 denied claims per plan, on about 79,203 claims processed per plan.
- Its reason columns add up to 167,363 categorized rows against 143,772 denials, 116.4% of them, and every reason share on this page is a share of that first figure rather than of the second.
- Its smallest recorded category in Wisconsin is other reasons, 262 claims, 0.2% of what Common Ground Healthcare Cooperative categorized there.
- Against the file as a whole, this one record is 0.2% of the 84,502,749 in-network claim denials reported by every issuer in it.
- Find the reason code on your denial letter. The reason Common Ground Healthcare Cooperative records most often in Wisconsin is administrative reason, but yours may be one of the other 8, copy the exact wording and code off your own letter tonight, because that sentence is what your appeal has to answer.
- Ask Common Ground Healthcare Cooperative in Wisconsin 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. 143,772 claims were denied here in a single year and not one was escalated; the deadline is what decides whether anyone reads the argument.
None of those three steps costs anything. Anyone charging you to do them is selling you something you can do yourself in twenty minutes.
How that compares
| Denial rate | Rate | Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Common Ground Healthcare Cooperative | 9.6% | , |
| Wisconsin average | 12.1% | -2.5 pts |
| National average (this dataset) | 18.7% | -9.1 pts |
Common Ground Healthcare Cooperative sits at or below the national average across this dataset. A denial rate is a property of the insurer's book of business, coding practice, plan design, the population it covers, not evidence about the merits of any one claim, including yours.
What happened to appeals
| Stage | Filed | Overturned |
|---|---|---|
| Internal appeal (to Common Ground Healthcare Cooperative) | 0 | 0% |
| External review (independent) | 0 | 0% |
The gap nobody escalated
143,772 claims denied. 0 internal appeals filed. None reached independent external review. Nationally 32.8% of external reviews are overturned and the decision binds the plan.
That is arithmetic from the reported figures, not a prediction: nobody can say what those specific denials would have done at review, because they never got there. What the numbers do establish is that the binding stage was almost entirely unused here.
What that record means for your own Common Ground Healthcare Cooperative letter, and by when. Common Ground Healthcare Cooperative overturned 0% of the 0 internal appeals its Wisconsin members filed against 143,772 denials, and not one of those Wisconsin denials went on to the independent stage whose decision binds the plan, Common Ground Healthcare Cooperative's own 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 Common Ground Healthcare Cooperative 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 Common Ground Healthcare Cooperative in Wisconsin. One payment. No subscription. No cut of your claim.
Common Ground Healthcare Cooperative inside Wisconsin
Your denial did not happen in a national average. It happened in a state market, alongside 11 other insurers reporting into the same federal file, and these are that market's own figures.
- Across the whole of Wisconsin, the 12 insurers reporting in this file processed 9,824,576 in-network claims and denied 1,188,325 of them, a state denial rate of 12.1%. Common Ground Healthcare Cooperative is one of those 12.
- That puts Wisconsin 25th of 30 states by denial rate, 6.6 points below the 18.7% national average, before you get to what Common Ground Healthcare Cooperative did inside it.
- Wisconsin recorded 2,083 internal appeals against those denials: one appeal for every 570 claims the state's insurers refused.
- Not one denial in Wisconsin reached independent external review in the reported year, not Common Ground Healthcare Cooperative's and not any other insurer's in the state. That is the stage whose decision the plan is required by law to accept.
- The reason Wisconsin's insurers record most often is other reasons, 363,275 claims, 39.5% of the state's categorized denials. Common Ground Healthcare Cooperative records administrative reason most often instead, which is the argument your letter will need to answer.
- The other insurers a Wisconsin reader could have bought from run from 18.9% (Security Health Plan of Wisconsin, Inc.) to 6.5% (HealthPartners Insurance Company). Common Ground Healthcare Cooperative at 9.6% sits between the two.
- Put the two together and Common Ground Healthcare Cooperative is responsible for 12.1% of every in-network claim denied in Wisconsin in this release, from 15.3% of the claims the state's insurers processed.
- Every Wisconsin figure in this section is that state's own row in the same federal file Common Ground Healthcare Cooperative'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 Wisconsin page is free at /states/wisconsin.
