If your claim is denied, we will provide a detailed explanation (e.g., "claim submitted late," "insufficient evidence," "issue not covered"). You may appeal by submitting additional evidence within 5 business days of the denial, and we will conduct a secondary review.
Each claim is entitled to only one opportunity to submit additional evidence for appeal.
