An expedited appeal is a faster process than a normal health insurance claim rejection appeal.
Health plans, including Medicare Advantage, Medicare Part D and Affordable Care Act marketplace plans, allow expedited appeals when a normal appeals process could cause harm to the person’s health. A regular appeal process may take a month, but expedited appeals usually take less than three days.
If you need an expedited appeal, the provider should check the claim appeal form for an option to expedite your appeal and explain why you need a quick review of the appeal.
