The Insurer's Playbook

Context: Health Insurance

Health insurance appeals are highly regulated. You have specific rights under federal and state laws (like ERISA or ACA). Speed is critical, but don't panic—internal appeals fix about 40-50% of errors.

Their Strategy

Attrition. They expect you to give up after the first denial letter. 40% of people do.

Your Counter-Move

Persistence. A formal, evidence-backed appeal shifts your claim from the "auto-reject" pile to "needs legal review."

Strategic Analysis

Breaking Down Your Denial

"Exceeded Limits"

Your policy covers $5,000 for jewelry, but the stolen ring was $8,000. They pay $5,000 and deny the rest.

Check for:

  • Riders/Floaters: Did you purchase extra coverage for specific items?
  • Replacement Cost vs Actual Cash Value: Ensure they are valuing the item correctly (what it costs to buy *now*, not what you paid 10 years ago).

The Path to Victory

Execute these maneuvers precisely. Timing is everything.

Level 1 Protocol
01

"Request a copy of the complete claim file from your insurer in writing."

02

"Review their specific list of 'missing' documents (it should be in the denial letter)."

03

"Gather every document they mentioned and make certified copies."

04

"Write a formal appeal letter specifically addressing each 'missing' item."

05

"Send everything via certified mail with return receipt requested."

06

"Follow up within 14 days if you don't receive written confirmation."

The Evidence Vault

Insurance companies use "insufficient documentation" as their #1 denial loophole. Don't give them the chance. Weaponize your appeal with these files:

✓Original denial letter with specific missing items listed
✓Itemized bills (not summary statements)
✓Medical records or repair estimates
✓Proof of payment (canceled checks, credit card statements)
✓Police report or incident report (if applicable)
✓Photos dated from time of loss

Intel Recap: Common Queries

What is the 'Golden Rule' for missing documents?↓
Never assume they have what you send. The 'Golden Rule' is to create a Transmittal Letter that lists every single page you are submitting. If you send 50 pages of medical records, list them as: 'Exhibit A: ER Records (12 pages), Exhibit B: MRI Report (2 pages)'. This makes it legally impossible for an adjuster to claim they 'never received' a specific page without looking incompetent.
Should I call my adjuster to see what's missing?↓
You can, but it's a trap unless you follow up immediately in writing. Adjusters are trained to give vague answers like 'we're just waiting on some records.' Instead, send an email: 'Per our conversation, you confirmed that the ONLY missing item is the Police Report. If there is anything else, notify me in 3 business days.' This locks them into a specific deficiency.
What if the doctor's office refuses to send the records?↓
Under HIPAA (in the US) and similar patient rights laws globally, you have a legal right to your own records. If the office is slow, don't ask them to send it to the insurer—pick it up yourself, scan it, and send it. You are the only person who truly cares about your deadline.
How do I handle 'Summary Bills' vs. 'Itemized Bills'?↓
Insurers love to deny based on 'summary bills' because they can't see the individual charges. Always request the 'Superbill' or 'UB-04' (for hospitals) which contains the specific CPT codes. If the insurer can't see the codes, they won't pay the dollars.
