Paramount Insurance Company denied 15,746 of 110,549 in-network claims in Ohio; every one of those denials had these same two dates on it. Across Ohio as a whole the insurers in this file denied 17.9% of in-network claims, 2,934,307 of them, and 35,236 were appealed.
Paramount Insurance Company denied 14.2% of in-network claims in Ohio, 15,746 claims out of 110,549.
Insurance got denied, what to do next?
Those 15,746 denials are 0.5% of every in-network denial recorded in Ohio in this release, which makes Paramount Insurance Company the 10th largest source of denials of the 10 insurers reporting there. Spread across its 26 plans in the state that is about 606 denials per plan. 30 internal appeals were filed against those 15,746 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 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: 15,746 in-network claims were denied by Paramount Insurance Company 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.
- Of the 10 insurers reporting a denial rate in Ohio, Paramount Insurance Company is the ninth highest at 14.2%. The highest in the state is 26.5% and the lowest is 8.3%.
- That is 4.5 percentage points below the 18.7% national average across this dataset, and 3.7 points below the Ohio average of 17.9%.
- Behind the percentage: 110,549 in-network claims were processed under 26 plans in Ohio, and 15,746 of them came back denied.
- For every 10,000 claims Paramount Insurance Company denied, about 19 came back as an internal appeal. The other 9,981 stopped at the letter.
- Of the internal appeals it did receive, Paramount Insurance Company overturned 73.33%, 22 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 benefit limit reached at 38.4% of its categorized denials, against 4.2% nationally, a heavier share than the country as a whole. That is the denial mix, not an outcome rate.
- Paramount Insurance Company accounts for 0.5% of every in-network claim denied in Ohio in this file.
- By raw volume it is the 141th 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, 4,411 claims, 16.5% of its categorized denials.
- Third on its own list is other reasons, 3,594 claims, 13.4% of what Paramount Insurance Company categorized in Ohio. Between them the top three account for 68.3% of its categorized denials.
- Where Paramount Insurance Company differs most from the national mix is benefit limit reached: 38.4% of its categorized denials in Ohio against 4.2% across the file.
- Read the other way round: 94,803 of those 110,549 in-network claims were paid, 85.8% of everything Paramount Insurance Company processed in Ohio.
- Spread across the 26 plans it reports in Ohio, that is about 606 denied claims per plan, on about 4,252 claims processed per plan.
- Its reason columns add up to 26,795 categorized rows against 15,746 denials, 170.2% 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 Ohio is not medically necessary, 18 claims, 0.1% of what Paramount Insurance Company 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 Paramount Insurance Company records most often in Ohio is benefit limit reached, 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 Paramount Insurance Company in Ohio 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. Paramount Insurance Company overturned 73.33% of the internal appeals it did receive, 22 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Paramount Insurance Company | 14.2% | , |
| Ohio average | 17.9% | -3.7 pts |
| National average (this dataset) | 18.7% | -4.5 pts |
Paramount Insurance Company 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 Paramount Insurance Company) | 30 | 73.33% |
| External review (independent) | 0 | 0% |
The gap nobody escalated
15,746 claims denied. 30 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 Paramount Insurance Company letter, and by when. Paramount Insurance Company overturned 73.33% of the 30 internal appeals its Ohio members filed against 15,746 denials, and not one of those Ohio denials went on to the independent stage whose decision binds the plan, Paramount Insurance Company'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 Paramount Insurance Company 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 Paramount Insurance Company in Ohio. One payment. No subscription. No cut of your claim.
Paramount Insurance Company inside Ohio
Your denial did not happen in a national average. It happened in a state market, alongside 10 other insurers reporting into the same federal file, and these are that market's own figures.
- Across the whole of Ohio, the 11 insurers reporting in this file processed 16,409,625 in-network claims and denied 2,934,307 of them, a state denial rate of 17.9%. Paramount Insurance Company is one of those 11.
- That puts Ohio 18th of 30 states by denial rate, 0.8 points below the 18.7% national average, before you get to what Paramount Insurance Company did inside it.
- Ohio recorded 35,236 internal appeals against those denials: one appeal for every 83 claims the state's insurers refused. Paramount Insurance Company's own ratio is one for every 525.
- Independent external review was reached 954 times in the whole of Ohio, once for every 3,076 denials, against one in 14,369 nationally. None of them came from Paramount Insurance Company's denials.
- Of the Ohio external reviews that were filed, 215 were overturned, 22.5%. That percentage is measured on 954 reviews, which is why the count beside it matters more than the rate does when you are deciding whether to file against Paramount Insurance Company.
- The reason Ohio's insurers record most often is administrative reason, 951,084 claims, 26.4% of the state's categorized denials. Paramount Insurance Company records benefit limit reached most often instead, which is the argument your letter will need to answer.
- The other insurers an Ohio reader could have bought from run from 26.5% (Oscar Buckeye State Insurance Corp.) to 8.3% (Community Insurance Company(Anthem BCBS)). Paramount Insurance Company at 14.2% sits between the two.
- Put the two together and Paramount Insurance Company is responsible for 0.5% of every in-network claim denied in Ohio in this release, from 0.7% of the claims the state's insurers processed.
- Every Ohio figure in this section is that state's own row in the same federal file Paramount Insurance Company'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 Ohio page is free at /states/ohio.

The last column is each reason's share of all categorized denials nationally, so you can see where Paramount Insurance Company's mix in Ohio differs from everyone else's. This is denial mix, not overturn rate by reason, the federal file does not report appeal outcomes broken down by denial reason, and we do not imply otherwise.

How long do I have to appeal a Paramount Insurance Company denial in Ohio?
Generally 180 days from the date on the denial notice to file the internal appeal, then generally four months from the final internal denial to request independent external review. Expedited review, decided in about 72 hours, is available where delay would seriously jeopardize your health. Those timeframes are federal, so they are identical for every insurer reporting in Ohio, Paramount Insurance Company included, what varies by state is who runs the independent review at the end. Your own denial letter states the deadlines that govern your plan; that letter is the authority.
Does appealing a Paramount Insurance Company denial in Ohio cost anything?
The internal appeal to Paramount Insurance Company 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 Ohio can be charged more than that to file one.
Can Paramount Insurance Company ignore an external review decision in Ohio?
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 15,746 Paramount Insurance Company denials in Ohio the striking number on this page.
The line on this page I would read twice is the one that says not one of Paramount Insurance Company's 15,746 denials in Ohio reached independent review. I am not going to tell you that you will win. 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.
