Getting Started
Quick Start Guide
A step-by-step action plan and visual flowchart covering the entire appeal process from the moment you receive a denial. Includes a 24-hour action plan and guidance on requesting expedited review.
Denial Response Tracking Sheet
A two-page fillable log for every phone call, submission, and letter received. Includes a key deadlines table covering every milestone from first appeal through external review.
First Level Appeal
Sample Completed Appeal Letter
A fully written fictional appeal letter with notes explaining what makes each section effective. Read this for confidence and guidance before you use the appeal letter template.
First Level Appeal Letter Template
The core document of your appeal. Structured to address the specific criteria insurance reviewers look for — medical necessity, prior treatment, clinical evidence, and a direct counter to the stated denial reason.
Letter of Medical Necessity
Three-part document: patient guide, clinical briefing for your doctor, and the letter template. Includes ICD-10 code reference and guidance on prior treatment documentation.
BMI & Comorbidity Documentation Sheet
Structured fillable form for BMI, A1C, blood pressure, weight history, and co-morbid diagnoses. Complete with your doctor and attach to your appeal.
Common Denial Reasons Guide
The 8 most common GLP-1 denial reasons — translated from insurance language into plain English with ready-to-use counter-arguments for each.
Second Level Appeal
Second Level Appeal Letter Template
More assertive in tone than the first letter. Directly challenges the reason your first appeal was rejected. Includes a request for a specialist reviewer and formal notice of your right to external review.
Independent External Review
External Review Request Letter Template
Submitted to your insurer, who must forward your complete claim file to the assigned Independent Review Organization (IRO) within five business days. Includes an optional section for expedited 72-hour review.
Reference and Rights
Your Legal Rights Summary
Plain-English overview of your legally protected rights. Covers appeal timelines, step therapy reform, the No Surprises Act, bad faith insurer remedies, and state insurance commissioner complaints.
Patient Advocate and Assistance Resources
Curated four-page directory of free advocacy organizations, manufacturer assistance programs (Novo Nordisk, Eli Lilly), disease-specific groups, and government resources. Phone numbers and websites included.
