What happens if a treatment is recommended and the health plan refuses to authorize it or if I have a complaint about the service I receive from my physician or health plan?
Review the appeals and grievance procedures with health plan representatives and ask how the plan handles complaints. Complaints are generally handled internally, although some states require that the health plan offer external grievance resolution. The health plan will be able to tell you what options are available to you.
