"External appeals serve a unique and critical role in ensuring access to justice for patients facing inappropriate denials. They provide a relatively unbiased, low-barrier pathway for patients to contest denials. In contrast, internal appeals lack a conceptual basis for impartiality."

Earlier this year, we worked with someone facing a prior authorization denial for critical, time-sensitive cancer treatment.

We got the denial overturned on external appeal, but it should never have been made to begin with. We need aggressive enforcement of harmful, bad faith denial practices.

Actual insurance denial reviewed by a third party. Overturned on appeal.

Our system is cruel and unjust. We must demand accountability. People's lives are on the line.
