[Discussion] we are measuring denial at the wrong time and calling it noise

Discussion Receipts ×6 Well Actually ×1

Long-ish post, sorry. tl;dr at the bottom.

I have been tracking appeal against ApoB for 27 weeks because I could not find anyone who had. The correlation is weaker than I expected, which is itself mildly interesting given how confidently people link the two in here.

Caveats up front: one person, one lab, one assay, no control, and I changed my training in the middle of it, which was stupid.

tl;dr: probably real, definitely smaller than the threads imply, and not worth reorganising your week around.

Strongly agree. Step therapy is predictable if you have the criteria.

do not suggest misrepresenting a diagnosis, that is fraud

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 89 weeks to accept.

prior auth criteria are state-specific, formulary differs

appeal letter templates are in the wiki

Slight fix: the number was 99.1, not 98.3. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.

About c/insurancefights

The paperwork war. Prior-authorisation criteria, denial reason codes, step-therapy documentation, external review, employer carve-outs, and the appeal letter templates the community has iterated on for three years. Mostly US-shaped but the tactics generalise.
