Insurance got denied, what to do next?
We hear this most. r/HealthInsurance, thread title, read September 3, 2026.
The number nobody else publishes, and here it is missing. CMS publishes no external-review figure for Oscar Insurance Corporation of Ohio in Ohio, so nobody, including the regulator, can say whether anyone ever got that far. We print no number rather than reading an absence as a zero. Nationally, 4,918 of 83,907,852 denials reached that stage, one in every 17,061, and 22.2% (1,092 of 4,918; interval 22.2-23.8% for counts CMS withheld; 32.6% without SelectHealth) of those were overturned.

Those 75,554 denials are 5% of every in-network denial recorded in Ohio in this release, which makes Oscar Insurance Corporation of Ohio the 5th largest source of denials of the 7 insurers reporting there. Spread across its 20 plans in the state that is about 3,778 denials per plan. 3,736 internal appeals were filed against those 75,554 denials. Every one of those denials carried the same two dates the tool at the top of this page works out.

The clock your letter has to describe, in actual dates

Two dates matter more than anything else on this page, and they run the same in Ohio 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: 75,554 in-network claims were denied by Oscar Insurance Corporation of Ohio in Ohio 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.

Read the table for what it is: the external-review row above shows a dash, which means not reported and not zero, the Ohio absence this page states once at the top for Oscar Insurance Corporation of Ohio and sources once at the foot.

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 Oscar Insurance Corporation of Ohio notice and file well inside whichever of those windows is yours.

Where these numbers come from

The Oscar Insurance Corporation of Ohio figures on this page, the 14.4% denial rate, the 75,554 denials, are this issuer’s own reported rows in that file. CMS did not report an external-review figure for Oscar Insurance Corporation of Ohio in Ohio 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).

This page presents federal statistics and a general description of appeal rights created by federal law. It is not legal, medical, or insurance advice, and no outcome is guaranteed. Your denial letter and plan documents govern your specific case. Free help is available from your state's Consumer Assistance Program and from the federal Marketplace at HealthCare.gov.
Problem solved: You have both dates for your Oscar Insurance Corporation of Ohio notice, you know that Ohio runs the external review itself, and you have the letter, free, on this screen, tonight.
