Insurance got denied, what to do next?
Those 213,637 denials are 18% of every in-network denial recorded in Wisconsin in this release, which makes Compcare Health Serv Ins Co(Anthem BCBS) the 2nd largest source of denials of the 12 insurers reporting there. Spread across its 54 plans in the state that is about 3,956 denials per plan. 344 internal appeals were filed against those 213,637 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: 213,637 in-network claims were denied by Compcare Health Serv Ins Co(Anthem BCBS) in Wisconsin in a single plan year.

- Find the reason code on your denial letter. The federal file records no denial-reason breakdown for Compcare Health Serv Ins Co(Anthem BCBS) in Wisconsin, 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 Compcare Health Serv Ins Co(Anthem BCBS) 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.

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 Compcare Health Serv Ins Co(Anthem BCBS) notice and file well inside whichever of those windows is yours.

Compcare Health Serv Ins Co(Anthem BCBS) 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%. Compcare Health Serv Ins Co(Anthem BCBS) 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 Compcare Health Serv Ins Co(Anthem BCBS) did inside it.
- Wisconsin recorded 2,083 internal appeals against those denials: one appeal for every 570 claims the state's insurers refused. Compcare Health Serv Ins Co(Anthem BCBS)'s own ratio is one for every 621.
- Not one denial in Wisconsin reached independent external review in the reported year, not Compcare Health Serv Ins Co(Anthem BCBS)'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.
- 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). Compcare Health Serv Ins Co(Anthem BCBS) at 8.7% sits between the two.

Who appeals what at Anthem (Elevance Health), the insurer's own routing table
Anthem (Elevance Health) publishes a table of which denial scenarios are appealed by you, the member ("customer appeal") and which only your health care provider can appeal. Almost no patient ever sees it, and appealing a denial that only your provider has standing to appeal burns time inside a fixed window. Quoted from Anthem (Elevance Health)'s published policy (a page written for health care providers (Virginia Medicaid plan)), checked 2026-08-25. It is brand-level and applies to Compcare Health Serv Ins Co(Anthem BCBS) in Wisconsin the same as to every other Anthem (Elevance Health) entity in the file.
| Denial scenario (Anthem (Elevance Health)'s wording) | Who appeals it |
|---|---|
| Claim payment dispute (finalized claim, provider disagrees) | Your provider |
| Pre-service denial of a service (no claim yet) | Your provider |

The Compcare Health Serv Ins Co(Anthem BCBS) figures on this page, the 8.7% denial rate, the 213,637 denials, are this issuer’s own reported rows in that file. CMS did not report an external-review figure for Compcare Health Serv Ins Co(Anthem BCBS) in Wisconsin 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).
