The Pennsylvania Commonwealth Office of Digital Experience, or CODE PA, and Department of Insurance announced Monday that they’ve launched a new website for residents to appeal denied health plan services.
According to a press release, Pennsylvanians can submit their information to request an independent, external review if they believe that their insurer has wrongfully denied a claim for “medical service, treatment and items.” The requests are sent directly to the insurance department through the new site. The Pennsylvania Insurance Department uses a third-party reviewer, comprised of doctors and other health care professionals to determine if a claim was wrongfully denied.
