Appeal deadline calculator

Most commercial plans give you 180 days from the date on your denial letter; Medicare gives 60 days. Miss the window and you lose the right to appeal entirely — check yours now.

Deadlines are counted from the denial letter date, not from when you received it. When in doubt, check the appeals address and deadline printed on your denial notice.

Common questions

Why do insurers deny GLP-1 prescriptions?

Most denials come from three places: "not medically necessary" (your history wasn't documented well), step therapy (they want you to try cheaper drugs first), or formulary/quantity limits. Each has a different rebuttal — the letter addresses the one you select.

Will this actually work?

Appeals succeed far more often than people expect — many insurers approve 40-65% of appeals. Success depends on your clinical history and doctor's support. This tool gives you the strongest possible letter in the format insurers read; it can't guarantee any outcome.

How long do I have to appeal?

Most commercial plans give you 180 days from the date on the denial letter; Medicare gives 60 days. The deadline is counted from the letter date, not from when you opened it — check the dates on your notice, then use the deadline calculator above. Missing the window forfeits your right to appeal, so file before you finish polishing.

Is this legal / medical advice?

No. This is a writing assistant. You and your doctor decide what's true and what to submit. We never diagnose, prescribe, or promise coverage.

What do I need to have ready?

Your denial letter or EOB (for the denial reason), the drug name, your diagnosis, and roughly what treatments you've already tried. That's it — everything else is optional placeholders you can fill in.

Is my health information safe?

Nothing is uploaded to our server. Your answers stay in your browser; only the text you see (drug, diagnosis, denial reason) is sent briefly to generate the letter, and we don't store it.
