Administrative appeals or claims reviews are conducted on claim denials.
If you’d like to:
- Request a claim adjustment for a service previously reviewed, you must submit a written request to the address listed below.
- Make a correction to a previously submitted 1500 or UB-04 claim, then submit a replacement claim, not an appeal.
- Submit an appeal, send us a completed Request for Claim
Review Form.
This is due within one year of the date the claim was denied. Providers can submit up to two appeals for the same denied service within one year of the date the claim was denied.
