What is the difference between a standard and a “fast” or “expedited” appeal for Medical Care?
A decision about whether we will cover medical care can be a “standard decision” that is made within the standard time frame (typically within 14 days; see below), or it can be a “fast decision” that is made more quickly (typically within 72 hours; see below). A fast decision is sometimes called a 72-hour decision or an “expedited organization determination.
