Insurance got denied, what to do next?
Those 9,707 denials are 0% of every in-network denial recorded in Texas in this release, which makes Imperial Insurance Companies, Inc. the 12th largest source of denials of the 13 insurers reporting there. Spread across its 8 plans in the state that is about 1,213 denials per plan. 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 Texas 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: 9,707 in-network claims were denied by Imperial Insurance Companies, Inc. in Texas 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 13 insurers reporting a denial rate in Texas, Imperial Insurance Companies, Inc. is the first highest at 36.8%. The highest in the state is 36.8% and the lowest is 9.8%.
- That is 21.1 percentage points above the 15.7% national average across this dataset, and 19.5 points above the Texas average of 17.3%.
- Behind the percentage: 26,387 in-network claims were processed under 8 plans in Texas, and 9,707 of them came back denied.
- Not one of those denials reached independent external review, the stage whose decision the plan is required by law to accept, and where nationally 22.2% (1,092 of 4,918; interval 22.2-23.8% for counts CMS withheld; 32.6% without SelectHealth) are overturned.
- Its most-recorded denial reason is other reasons at 92.5% of its categorized denials, against 32.4% nationally, a heavier share than the country as a whole. That is the denial mix, not an outcome rate.
- In Texas, Imperial Insurance Companies, Inc. reported 36.8%, and the same company files in 1 other state in this file, where the rate is not the same in any of them: 50.1% in Arizona. Which state the plan was bought in moves the odds more than the brand on the card does.
- Imperial Insurance Companies, Inc. accounts for 0% of every in-network claim denied in Texas in this file.
- By raw volume it is the 125th largest source of denials among the 135 insurer-state records in the file that report one.
- After that, its second-most-recorded reason is member not covered, 541 claims, 3.4% of its categorized denials.
- Third on its own list is benefit limit reached, 491 claims, 3.1% of what Imperial Insurance Companies, Inc. categorized in Texas. Between them the top three account for 99% of its categorized denials.
- Where Imperial Insurance Companies, Inc. differs most from the national mix is other reasons: 92.5% of its categorized denials in Texas against 32.4% across the file.
- Read the other way round: 16,680 of those 26,387 in-network claims were paid, 63.2% of everything Imperial Insurance Companies, Inc. processed in Texas.
- Spread across the 8 plans it reports in Texas, that is about 1,213 denied claims per plan, on about 3,298 claims processed per plan.
- Its reason columns add up to 15,970 categorized rows against 9,707 denials, 164.5% 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 Texas is referral required, 158 claims, 1% of what Imperial Insurance Companies, Inc. categorized there.
- Against the file as a whole, this one record is 0% of the 83,907,852 in-network claim denials reported by every issuer in it.
- Find the reason code on your denial letter. The reason Imperial Insurance Companies, Inc. records most often in Texas is other reasons, 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 Imperial Insurance Companies, Inc. in Texas 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. 9,707 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Imperial Insurance Companies, Inc. | 36.8% | , |
| Texas average | 17.3% | +19.5 pts |
| National average (this dataset) | 15.7% | +21.1 pts |
Imperial Insurance Companies, Inc. denies 21.1 percentage points more of its in-network claims than 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 Imperial Insurance Companies, Inc.) | not reported | not reported |
| External review (independent) | 0 | not reported |
The gap nobody escalated
9,707 claims denied. not reported internal appeals filed. None reached independent external review. Nationally 22.2% (1,092 of 4,918; interval 22.2-23.8% for counts CMS withheld; 32.6% without SelectHealth) 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 Imperial Insurance Companies, Inc. letter, and by when. Imperial Insurance Companies, Inc. recorded 9,707 denials in Texas and no separately reported appeal outcome, so this page cannot tell you how its Texas appeals went, the Imperial Insurance Companies, Inc. rows in the plan-year 2027 release of the CMS Transparency in Coverage file, read November 4, 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 65 calendar days from the date of its notice (CMS, 42 CFR 422.582(b)) and Medicaid managed care 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 Imperial Insurance Companies, 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 Imperial Insurance Companies, Inc. in Texas. One payment. No subscription. No cut of your claim.
Imperial Insurance Companies, Inc. inside Texas

- That puts Texas 11th of 29 states by denial rate, 1.6 points above the 15.7% national average, before you get to what Imperial Insurance Companies, Inc. did inside it.
- Texas recorded 89,989 internal appeals against those denials: one appeal for every 269 claims the state's insurers refused.
- Independent external review was reached 158 times in the whole of Texas, once for every 153,067 denials, against one in 17,061 nationally. None of them came from Imperial Insurance Companies, Inc.'s denials.

- The reason Texas's insurers record most often is other reasons, 13,485,994 claims, 35.5% of the state's categorized denials. Imperial Insurance Companies, Inc. records the same one most often, so your letter is likely to say it too.
- The other insurers a Texas reader could have bought from run from 23.8% (Molina Healthcare of Texas, Inc.) to 9.8% (Celtic Insurance Company). Imperial Insurance Companies, Inc. at 36.8% sits above all of them.
- Put the two together and Imperial Insurance Companies, Inc. is responsible for 0% of every in-network claim denied in Texas in this release, from 0% of the claims the state's insurers processed.
- Every Texas figure in this section is that state's own row in the same federal file Imperial Insurance Companies, Inc.'s numbers above come from, CMS Transparency in Coverage Public Use File (PY2027 release, PY2025 claims), data.healthcare.gov — US Government public domain, and the full Texas page is free at /states/texas.
