Your Right to Appeal

If your payer denies coverage for neuromodulation or a bulking agent, you have a right to appeal. Coverage is sometimes denied because the payers do not fully understand the therapy. Consequently, providing information to them can be helpful. Be sure to check your insurance carrier’s Certificate of Coverage for instructions on the appeal process offered by your insurance plan.

Appealing a coverage decision can be a lengthy process. Do not get discouraged. There are resources available to assist a patient or family member through an appeal process. You or family member may contact your doctor to guide you in the appeal process.
