Your Insurance Said No? Here's How to Win the Appeal w/ Neal Shah, Counterforce Health

from Care Talk with Laura Packard: American Health Care Explained · host Laura Packard

Insurance denied your claim? You don't have to take no for an answer. Free AI tools help patients write professional appeal letters when their insurance company denies care. Whether you're fighting a prior authorization denial, a claim rejection, or being told a treatment isn't "medically necessary" – you can push back. Neal Shah from Counterforce Health talks about their free tools and resources to empower everyday people to challenge insurance denials in this #CareTalk episode with show host, cancer survivor, and health care advocate Laura Packard from Health Care Voices. Plus Diane Archer from Just Care & Social Security Works and Louise Norris from healthinsurance.org answer your American health insurance and health care questions on Medicare, the Affordable Care Act, Medicaid, private insurance and more. This episode has more about appeals and Medicare Advantage, the differences between primary care membership programs and health insurance, dual eligibility for Medicare and Medicaid, and preventative versus diagnostic tests.
