Comments on: How Do I Appeal A Medicare Claim Denial? http://www.seniorcorps.org/medicare/how-do-i-appeal-a-medicare-claim-denial/ Helping Seniors Help America Tue, 07 May 2013 12:05:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Norman Rondeau http://www.seniorcorps.org/medicare/how-do-i-appeal-a-medicare-claim-denial/#comment-8566 Norman Rondeau Sun, 04 Mar 2012 08:20:11 +0000 http://www.seniorcorps.org/?p=1137#comment-8566 While looking at your website I noticed a problem with your first paragraph on the "how do I appeal" page. The problem, shown in quotes, below, is that two months is 60 days. 120 days is 4 months. "process two months (120 days) to appeal a claim that was denied, but the sooner you begin the better" Without going to the Medicare.gov website, I cannot just yet quote the correct figure. I know this is a typo of some sort you guys can correct or expand upon if some additional information was accidently left out of the paragraph. I think your website is nice and will be using it as I have just been denied a claim of $3784 for an MRI that revealed (finally, after 20 plus years) what a problem I have really is!! Reason given was "not medically necessary." The reference material they directed me to cites reasons for ordering an MRI and all match my situation as being payable by medicare. Thanks for the nice site and helpful info on your site. It has helped relieve some of the depression over facing destruction of my savings just to pay for a denied claim for a MRI that identified my problem. If I had this to do over again, I would opt for another 20 years of pain. While looking at your website I noticed a problem with your first paragraph on the “how do I appeal” page.
