Moda Health Plan, Inc. denied 29,231 of 168,684 in-network claims in Alaska; every one of those denials had these same two dates on it. Across Alaska as a whole the insurers in this file denied 25.3% of in-network claims, 239,313 of them, and 222 were appealed.
Moda Health Plan, Inc. denied 17.3% of in-network claims in Alaska, 29,231 claims out of 168,684.
Insurance got denied, what to do next?
Those 29,231 denials are 12.2% 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 7 plans in the state that is about 4,176 denials per plan. 35 internal appeals were filed against those 29,231 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: 29,231 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 17.3%. The highest in the state is 27% and the lowest is 17.3%.
- That is 1.4 percentage points below the 18.7% national average across this dataset, and 8 points below the Alaska average of 25.3%.
- Behind the percentage: 168,684 in-network claims were processed under 7 plans in Alaska, and 29,231 of them came back denied.
- For every 10,000 claims Moda Health Plan, Inc. denied, about 12 came back as an internal appeal. The other 9,988 stopped at the letter.
- Of the internal appeals it did receive, Moda Health Plan, Inc. overturned 48.57%, 17 claims that started life as a no.
- 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 service excluded from the plan at 43.6% of its categorized denials, against 11.6% nationally, a heavier share than the country as a whole. That is the denial mix, not an outcome rate.
- In Alaska, Moda Health Plan, Inc. reported 17.3%, and the same company files in 2 other states in this file, where the rate is not the same in any of them: 24.3% in Texas, 14.3% in Oregon. Which state the plan was bought in moves the odds more than the brand on the card does.
- Moda Health Plan, Inc. accounts for 12.2% of every in-network claim denied in Alaska in this file.
- By raw volume it is the 129th largest source of denials among the 158 insurer-state records in the file that report one.
- After that, its second-most-recorded reason is administrative reason, 16,247 claims, 42.2% of its categorized denials.
- Third on its own list is other reasons, 3,053 claims, 7.9% of what Moda Health Plan, Inc. categorized in Alaska. Between them the top three account for 93.7% of its categorized denials.
- Where Moda Health Plan, Inc. differs most from the national mix is service excluded from the plan: 43.6% of its categorized denials in Alaska against 11.6% across the file.
- Read the other way round: 139,453 of those 168,684 in-network claims were paid, 82.7% of everything Moda Health Plan, Inc. processed in Alaska.
- Spread across the 7 plans it reports in Alaska, that is about 4,176 denied claims per plan, on about 24,098 claims processed per plan.
- Its reason columns add up to 38,515 categorized rows against 29,231 denials, 131.8% 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 provider out of network, 15 claims, 0% of what Moda Health Plan, Inc. categorized there.
- Against the file as a whole, this one record is 0% 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 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. Moda Health Plan, Inc. overturned 48.57% of the internal appeals it did receive, 17 claims, so the stage you are about to start is not decorative.
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. | 17.3% | , |
| Alaska average | 25.3% | -8 pts |
| National average (this dataset) | 18.7% | -1.4 pts |
Moda Health Plan, Inc. 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 Moda Health Plan, Inc.) | 35 | 48.57% |
| External review (independent) | 0 | 0% |
The gap nobody escalated
29,231 claims denied. 35 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 Moda Health Plan, Inc. letter, and by when. Moda Health Plan, Inc. overturned 48.57% of the 35 internal appeals its Alaska members filed against 29,231 denials, and not one of those Alaska denials went on to the independent stage whose decision binds the plan, Moda Health Plan, Inc.'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 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 946,098 in-network claims and denied 239,313 of them, a state denial rate of 25.3%. Moda Health Plan, Inc. is one of those 2.
- That puts Alaska second of 30 states by denial rate, 6.6 points above the 18.7% national average, before you get to what Moda Health Plan, Inc. did inside it.
- Alaska recorded 222 internal appeals against those denials: one appeal for every 1,078 claims the state's insurers refused. Moda Health Plan, Inc.'s own ratio is one for every 835.
- 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, 242,298 claims, 69.5% 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 27% (Premera Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alaska) to 27% (Premera Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alaska). Moda Health Plan, Inc. at 17.3% sits below all of them.
- Put the two together and Moda Health Plan, Inc. is responsible for 12.2% of every in-network claim denied in Alaska in this release, from 17.8% 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 (PY2026 release, PY2024 claims), data.healthcare.gov — US Government public domain, and the full Alaska page is free at /states/alaska.

Does appealing a Moda Health Plan, Inc. denial in Alaska cost anything?
The internal appeal to Moda Health Plan, Inc. is free. External review is free under the HHS-administered federal process; where an issuer uses a contracted independent review organization or a state process, any fee is capped at $25 per review. Nobody in Alaska can be charged more than that to file one.
Can Moda Health Plan, Inc. ignore an external review decision in Alaska?
No, and that is the whole point of the stage. External review decisions are binding on the plan by law, which is what makes the zero external reviews recorded against 29,231 Moda Health Plan, Inc. denials in Alaska the striking number on this page.

This page prints the insurer's own reported numbers whichever way they fall. If what it says does not match the letter in your hand, write to me and I will correct the page.
