Pediatric insurance appeal letter builder
A denial is a deadline. This builds a complete, properly formatted appeal letter that argues against the specific reason you were given — and tells you the date it has to be sent by.
Your details
Copy these straight off the denial letter and your insurance card.
Your deadline is counted from this date, not the day it arrived.
Check your plan documents — this varies.
What was denied
Be specific. An appeal that argues against the exact stated reason is far stronger than one that restates the diagnosis.
Common questions
How long do I have to appeal?
Most plans allow 180 days from the date on the denial letter, but your plan documents govern. The letter date is what counts.
Does anything I type get sent to ClearPath?
No. This runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is transmitted or stored.
What should I attach to the letter?
The denial letter itself, a letter of medical necessity from the ordering provider that addresses the specific denial reason, and the relevant visit notes.
What if the appeal is denied too?
Most plans have a second internal level, and after that an external review by an independent body. Ask your insurer in writing what levels remain and the deadline for each.
