Administrative Reviews and Appeals
   
   
       
   
 
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.
- All first-level provider appeals to request a claim review must be submitted in writing within 180 days of the initial claim being denied or processed to the appropriate address listed below.
 
- If you disagree with the first-level provider appeal determination, you may submit a second-level provider appeal in writing within 60 days of receipt of the first-level provider appeal determination.
