An IMR is a review of your case by independent doctors who are not part of your health plan. You have a good chance of receiving the service(s) or treatment(s) you need by requesting an IMR. Approximately 60% of enrollee’s that submit IMR requests to the DMHC receive the service(s) or treatment(s) they requested. If the IMR is decided in your favor, your plan must authorize the service(s) or treatment(s) you requested. IMR’s are free to enrollees. If your health plan denies your request for medical services or treatment, you can file a complaint (grievance/appeal) with your plan. If you disagree with your plan's decision, or it has been at least 30 days since you filed a complaint with your health plan you can request an IMR with the DMHC. The DMHC staff will determine whether your issue qualifies for an IMR.
