An organization determination is a coverage decision that involves your medical care or asks us to reimburse you or pay a bill. To ask for a coverage decision on health care you want but haven’t received or to pay a bill, you can call, write, or fax Member Services.

If you need a quick answer about care or services because waiting too long could be a health risk, ask for a fast coverage decision. You, your doctor, or your representative can ask for this, and we’ll respond within 72 hours. Otherwise, we’ll respond to requests for care or services within 14 days and requests for payment within 30 days.

If we turn down your request, you can make an appeal. (See "Making an appeal" below). For more details, refer to chapter 9 in your Evidence of Coverage.

Making an appeal

If we turn down your request, you’ll get written notice of our decision. You can ask us to reconsider by making a Level 1 Appeal within 60 days of the date on that notice.

  • For a standard appeal, write to Member Services. If you need a quick response for health reasons, you must ask for a fast appeal (also called an expedited reconsideration) by writing or calling Member Services. You, your doctor, or your representative can do this. If a representative is appealing our decision for you, the appeal must include an Appointment of Representative (updated 10/01/24) (PDF) form authorizing this person to represent you.
  • We’ll respond to fast appeal requests within 72 hours, standard appeals for care you haven’t received within 30 days, and standard appeals about payment within 60 days.
  • If we say no to all or part of your appeal, your case will be sent to Level 2 of the appeals process. To make sure our decision was fair, we will send your appeal to the Independent Review Organization, who will carefully review it and explain the decision to you in writing.

For more details, refer to chapter 9 in your Evidence of Coverage.

How do I appoint a representative?

You can appoint a representative to help you. Your representative can be a family member, friend, advocate, attorney, doctor, or someone else who will act on your behalf. Fill out an Appointment of Representative form (updated 10/01/24) (PDF) and send it in with your appeal.

Filing a grievance

If you’re unhappy with your care or services or with our processes, you can make a complaint. This is known as filing a grievance. Contact Member Services within 60 days of the incident, by phone or in writing.

We’ll look into your complaint and respond within 30 days. For more details, refer to chapter 9 in your Evidence of Coverage.
