Requesting a Claim Review

If you have a concern about how a claim processed, you can request a claim review, also called an allowable charge review. (Note: This process is separate from the claims appeal process, which is only for charges denied as "not covered" or "not medically necessary.")

See our Good Faith Payment Review page for additional information. 

Common Reasons for a Claim Review

• allowed amount disputes
• charges denied as "Included in a paid service."
• charges denied as "Requested information not received."
• claim denied as "Provider not authorized."
• ClaimsXten™ denials
• coding issues
• cost-share and deductible issues
• eligibility denials
• other health insurance issues
• penalties for no authorization
• Point of Service disputes (Exception: Point of Service for emergency services is appealable.)
• third party liability issues
• timely filing limit denials
• wrong procedure code
