Receiving a claim denial can be disappointing, but you have the right to dispute the decision if you believe it was incorrect. This guide will walk you through the steps to raise a dispute and seek a fair review.
Step 1: Understand the Reason for Denial
- Carefully read the denial letter or email you received.
- Note the specific reason(s) for rejection, such as missing documentation, policy exclusions, or coverage limits.
Step 2: Review Your Insurance Policy
- Check your policy documents to ensure the claim event should be covered.
- Identify any terms or exclusions that relate to your claim.
Step 3: Gather Supporting Information
- Collect all relevant documents including:
- The original claim form
- Medical reports, receipts, or police reports
- Correspondence related to your claim
- Any new evidence that supports your case
Step 4: Prepare Your Dispute Letter
- Clearly state your disagreement with the denial.
- Include a summary of your claim, the reasons you believe it should be approved, and attach supporting documents.
Step 5: Submit the Dispute
- Send your dispute letter and documents to the claims department or the specified address in the denial notice.
- Follow any instructions about submission deadlines and formats.
Step 6: Follow Up and Stay Informed
- Keep copies of everything you send.
- Contact the claims department to confirm receipt.
- Ask about expected timelines for the dispute review.
Additional Tips
