Appeals fail because of missing paperwork, not missing merit.

Most denied claims have a strong case for reversal. The gap is procedural: patients submit incomplete packets, miss deadlines, or send documents through the wrong channel.

Incomplete packets

Insurers require specific documents for each denial type. Missing even one attachment can trigger a procedural rejection before anyone reviews your case.

Missed deadlines

Appeal windows vary by insurer and plan type. Once the deadline passes, your options narrow significantly.

Wrong submission channel

Some insurers require portal submissions, others accept fax, and some reject appeals sent to the wrong department entirely.

Generic letters

A one-size-fits-all letter with no structured evidence and no reference to insurer-specific policy criteria rarely moves the needle.

Structured documents, mapped to your insurer's general requirements.

Every packet is assembled around your denial, general insurer requirements for your plan type, and submission rules.

Appeal Cover Letter

Insurer-specific structured template with your denial details, member ID, and policy references filled in.

Required Evidence Checklist

Denial-type-specific list of every document your insurer expects to see, so nothing gets left out.

Care Timeline Worksheet

Structured table for your diagnosis, treatments, and outcomes in the format insurers use for review.

Letter of Medical Necessity Template

Structured template your provider can complete and sign, referencing the insurer's own policy criteria.

Submission Instructions

Portal URL, fax number, mailing address, required format, and subject line for your insurer's appeals department.

Deadline Worksheet

Your denial date, appeal window, final deadline, and a recommended internal submission date.

Escalation Overview

State-specific external review links and next steps if your internal appeal is denied.

Four steps to a structured appeal packet.

You provide denial details. We assemble the structured packet.

Submit your details

Fill out the intake form with your insurer, denial information, treatment history, and provider details.

We map your denial

Your denial is cross-referenced against insurer-specific policy requirements, submission rules, and deadlines.

Packet assembly

Every template is populated, your checklist is generated, and submission instructions are compiled into a single structured packet.

Download and submit

You receive a downloadable PDF or Word document instantly, formatted for submission through your insurer's required channel.

Built for people navigating a denial under deadline.

Patients

You received a medical necessity denial and need to file a structured appeal before the deadline closes.

Caregivers

You are managing an appeal for a family member and need to make sure nothing is missing from the submission.

Just received a denial

You have a denial letter in hand and do not know what documents to include or where to send them.

Three major insurers at launch.

UnitedHealthcare
Aetna
Blue Cross Blue Shield

Currently supporting medical necessity denials for major commercial plans (HMO, PPO, Employer, Marketplace). Additional insurers and denial types will be added based on demand.

What PriorAuthPro does not include.

This is a structured documentation service. To set accurate expectations, here is what falls outside its scope.

Not legal advice or representation

No attorney-client relationship is formed. PriorAuthPro does not interpret insurer policy language, does not provide legal opinions, and is not a substitute for consulting an attorney.

Not medical advice

PriorAuthPro does not evaluate whether a treatment is medically necessary. Medical information you enter is reflected as entered. Clinical accuracy is not verified.

Not a guarantee of approval

Generating a packet does not mean your appeal will be approved. Approval decisions are made solely by the insurer. Submission requirements may differ from the general information provided.

Not plan-specific rules

The packet uses general insurer rules by insurer name and plan type. Your specific plan may have different requirements. Always verify submission details with your insurer and refer to your denial letter.

Not a completed appeal

The Letter of Medical Necessity requires your provider to complete and sign it. The packet is formatted for submission, but you are responsible for assembling the final documents and verifying the submission channel.

One packet. One price.

Step 1 of 6Basic Information
Notice for your state: This product is a document preparation service. It does not provide legal representation. No attorney-client relationship is formed. If you need legal advice about your appeal, consult a licensed attorney in your state.
Important note about Blue Cross Blue Shield: BCBS is a federation of autonomous local Blue plans. There is no single national portal, mailing address, fax number, or phone number for filing appeals. The three-letter prefix on your member ID card identifies your local affiliate. All submission details (mailing address, fax, portal) must come from your denial letter or by calling the number on the back of your member ID card. The packet will include general BCBS guidance, but affiliate-specific submission details cannot be pre-populated.

Before you submit:

1. The Letter of Medical Necessity requires your provider to review, complete, and sign it. Generating this packet does not confirm that the clinical content is accurate or sufficient for the appeal.

2. Verify the submission channel and deadline with your insurer before filing. Your denial letter is the primary source of truth for where and when to submit.

3. Insurer rules are verified quarterly. Requirements may have changed since the last verification. Confirm current submission requirements before filing.

4. The cover letter, care timeline, and Letter of Medical Necessity are formatted for direct submission to your insurer. The checklist, submission instructions, deadline worksheet, and escalation overview are for your personal reference.
