Re: Appeal for Denial of Coverage for Prescription Medication
Dear Mr. Philip Mitchell,
I am writing to formally appeal the denial of coverage for the prescription medication Humira for my patient, Barry Morar, who has been under my care for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. This medication is critical for managing Mr. Morar’s condition and improving his overall quality of life.
On September 25, 2050, we received a notification indicating that the claim for Humira was denied due to reasons related to medical necessity. However, after thoroughly reviewing the patient’s medical history and considering the clinical guidelines for this treatment, it is clear that Humira is not only appropriate but necessary for Mr. Morar’s ongoing treatment.
Mr. Morar has a history of severe rheumatoid arthritis that has not responded to traditional therapies such as Methotrexate and NSAIDs. Prior attempts to manage his condition with alternative therapies have proven ineffective. Humira has been shown in clinical studies to significantly improve outcomes for patients with similar conditions and should be considered a standard part of care.
I have included supporting documentation with this letter, including:
-
A detailed letter from Dr. Carmel Ryan, Mr. Morar's healthcare provider, outlining the necessity of the medication.
-
Relevant medical records that demonstrate the patient’s ongoing treatment history and previous interventions.
-
Clinical studies and guidelines supporting the use of Humira for Mr. Morar's specific condition.
We believe that the information provided illustrates the critical nature of this medication and its necessity for Mr. Morar's treatment plan. Therefore, I kindly request that you reconsider your decision and approve coverage for Humira.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response so that we may continue to provide the best care possible for Mr. Morar. Please feel free to contact me directly at [YOUR COMPANY NUMBER] or [YOUR EMAIL] if you require any further information or clarification.
Sincerely,
[YOUR NAME]
