How do I appeal a decision by Medicare or my plan if they deny coverage for a procedure or medication I need?

Answered by 2 licensed agents

Under traditional Medicare, you will appeal directly to Medicare, and Medicare supplemental/Medigap coverage must follow Medicare's lead in paying your coverage cost. With Medicare Advantage, you will deal directly with the insurance companies that write those plans.

You call the plan directly and file an appeal. The number will be on the back of your card. Also, if this is a drug plan, you can request a formulary exception if all other options have been exhausted.
