Insurance got denied, what to do next?
Those 20,076 denials are 8.2% of every in-network denial recorded in Alaska in this release, which makes Moda Health Plan, Inc. the 2nd largest source of denials of the 2 insurers reporting there. Spread across its 4 plans in the state that is about 5,019 denials per plan. 28 internal appeals were filed against those 20,076 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 Alaska 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: 20,076 in-network claims were denied by Moda Health Plan, Inc. in Alaska 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 2 insurers reporting a denial rate in Alaska, Moda Health Plan, Inc. is the second highest at 15.2%. The highest in the state is 26.3% and the lowest is 15.2%.
- That is 0.5 percentage points below the 15.7% national average across this dataset, and 9.6 points below the Alaska average of 24.8%.
- Behind the percentage: 132,295 in-network claims were processed under 4 plans in Alaska, and 20,076 of them came back denied.
- For every 10,000 claims Moda Health Plan, Inc. denied, about 14 came back as an internal appeal. The other 9,986 stopped at the letter.
- Its most-recorded denial reason is service excluded from the plan at 42.3% of its categorized denials, against 13.4% nationally, a heavier share than the country as a whole. That is the denial mix, not an outcome rate.
- Moda Health Plan, Inc. accounts for 8.2% of every in-network claim denied in Alaska in this file.
- By raw volume it is the 114th largest source of denials among the 135 insurer-state records in the file that report one.
- After that, its second-most-recorded reason is administrative reason, 6,515 claims, 37.1% of its categorized denials.
- Third on its own list is referral required, 2,182 claims, 12.4% of what Moda Health Plan, Inc. categorized in Alaska. Between them the top three account for 91.8% of its categorized denials.
- Where Moda Health Plan, Inc. differs most from the national mix is service excluded from the plan: 42.3% of its categorized denials in Alaska against 13.4% across the file.
- Read the other way round: 112,219 of those 132,295 in-network claims were paid, 84.8% of everything Moda Health Plan, Inc. processed in Alaska.
- Spread across the 4 plans it reports in Alaska, that is about 5,019 denied claims per plan, on about 33,074 claims processed per plan.
- Its reason columns add up to 17,575 categorized rows against 20,076 denials, 87.5% 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 Alaska is benefit limit reached, 11 claims, 0.1% of what Moda Health Plan, 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 Moda Health Plan, Inc. records most often in Alaska is service excluded from the plan, 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 Moda Health Plan, Inc. in Alaska 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. 20,076 claims were denied here in a single year and the escalation count for Moda Health Plan, Inc. in Alaska is the figure the top of this page records as absent, so how many were escalated is not on the record; 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Moda Health Plan, Inc. | 15.2% | , |
| Alaska average | 24.8% | -9.6 pts |
| National average (this dataset) | 15.7% | -0.5 pts |

What happened to appeals
| Stage | Filed | Overturned |
|---|---|---|
| Internal appeal (to Moda Health Plan, Inc.) | 28 | not reported |
| External review (independent) | not reported | not reported |
What that record means for your own Moda Health Plan, Inc. letter, and by when. Moda Health Plan, Inc. recorded 20,076 denials in Alaska and no separately reported appeal outcome, so this page cannot tell you how its Alaska appeals went, the Moda Health Plan, 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 Moda Health Plan, 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 Moda Health Plan, Inc. in Alaska. One payment. No subscription. No cut of your claim.
Moda Health Plan, Inc. inside Alaska
Your denial did not happen in a national average. It happened in a state market, alongside 1 other insurer reporting into the same federal file, and these are that market's own figures.
- Across the whole of Alaska, the 2 insurers reporting in this file processed 990,821 in-network claims and denied 245,546 of them, a state denial rate of 24.8%. Moda Health Plan, Inc. is one of those 2.
- That puts Alaska second of 29 states by denial rate, 9.1 points above the 15.7% national average, before you get to what Moda Health Plan, Inc. did inside it.
- Alaska recorded 206 internal appeals against those denials: one appeal for every 1,192 claims the state's insurers refused. Moda Health Plan, Inc.'s own ratio is one for every 717.
- Not one denial in Alaska reached independent external review in the reported year, not Moda Health Plan, Inc.'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 Alaska's insurers record most often is other reasons, 296,564 claims, 74.9% of the state's categorized denials. Moda Health Plan, Inc. records service excluded from the plan most often instead, which is the argument your letter will need to answer.
- The other insurers an Alaska reader could have bought from run from 26.3% (Premera Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alaska) to 26.3% (Premera Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alaska). Moda Health Plan, Inc. at 15.2% sits below all of them.
- Put the two together and Moda Health Plan, Inc. is responsible for 8.2% of every in-network claim denied in Alaska in this release, from 13.4% of the claims the state's insurers processed.
- Every Alaska figure in this section is that state's own row in the same federal file Moda Health Plan, 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 Alaska page is free at /states/alaska.

The Moda Health Plan, Inc. figures on this page, the 15.2% denial rate, the 20,076 denials, are this issuer’s own reported rows in that file. CMS did not report an external-review figure for Moda Health Plan, Inc. in Alaska in the plan-year 2027 release of the Transparency in Coverage file, which is why no external-review count appears above.
Counts: CMS Transparency in Coverage Public Use File (PY2027 release, PY2025 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).
