解析
An appeal is the provider's formal challenge to a payer's adverse determination, typically supported by medical records, corrected coding, or a letter of medical necessity. Payers set deadlines and levels for appeals that must be followed. A well-documented appeal can overturn denials for services that were actually covered.
