We help patients fight insurance coverage denials so they can get access to the medications and treatments they deserve. We currently specialize in insurance coverage denials for Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy and Zepbound.

If you are denied coverage for Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy or Zepbound, Honest Care can help fight your denial by submitting an ‘appeal’ to your insurance. An appeal is a formal request to your health insurance company to overturn their denial and grant coverage on your behalf. An appeal generally consists of a formal letter, addressed to your insurance, explaining why a medication should be covered on your behalf and why your insurance’s initial denial should be overturned.

You have the right to appeal to your insurance’s coverage denial. Honest Care simplifies the appeals process by writing an appeal letter and supporting documents on your behalf making your best arguments for medication coverage, following your completion of our proprietary GLP-1 denial assessment.

If your insurance denied coverage for Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy or Zepbound, you have the legal right to ask your insurance to reconsider the coverage denial by sending an ‘appeal’.  Unfortunately coverage denials too often go unchallenged. A study from September 2023 found that 69% of people who were denied coverage by their insurance didn’t know they could appeal, and 85% of people never tried to appeal.

We believe it always makes sense to appeal. Here is why:

Appeals work: According to a study analyzing data from several U.S. states, patients who appealed directly to their insurance provider (an internal appeal) experienced a success rate between 39-59%.

‍Denials are often issued by mistake: A computer almost always makes the initial decision to deny medication coverage. This results in denials that don’t actually consider your personal health situation or denials made by mistake. In the case of Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy and Zepbound, incorrectly entered information about your BMI, labs including A1c, your health conditions and diagnoses, your medication history and current medication use can all lead to an automatic denial. When you appeal, your information is reviewed by a real person.

‍Doctors review appeals, not computers: Having a doctor consider your unique circumstances makes submitting an appeal a powerful process for overturning denials getting covered.

You deserve the best care: You have the legal right to fight the treatment you need. As a part of the Affordable Care Act, all health insurance plans are required to allow their members to appeal their coverage decisions. This spans all insurance coverage - whether you are insured through your employer, purchased an insurance plan through your state marketplace, or are insured through a government program like Medicare or Medicaid.

We currently offer appeal services for Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy and Zepbound. After purchasing Honest Care and completing your online denial assessment, you can expect to receive your appeal letter within 2 business days.

An insurance appeal is a formal request you make to your insurance company, asking them to reconsider a decision about your claim. This could be when they've denied your claim, not paid enough, or made a decision you disagree with. The appeal is your chance to argue your case, showing them why their decision should be different. It involves submitting a well-structured letter, along with any supporting evidence like medical records or repair estimates, to make your case stronger.

An insurance appeal letter is your way of asking the insurance company to reevaluate a decision, such as a denied claim. It's essentially your argument in writing, explaining why you believe their decision should be different. This is a common document patients can use to advocate for themselves with their insurance to cover their medical costs even prior to being denied for a treatment.

This letter will include your policy details, specific decision you disagree with, and provide solid reasons and evidence (like weight loss efforts, past and present medications, labs, receipts etc) for your appeal. The letter should be clear, concise, and respectful, ending with a specific request for what you want your insurance to do.

You can submit an appeal letter directly to your insurance or through your health care provider as part of your insurance appeal process.

Insurance supporting evidence is the documentation or information you provide to back up your claim or appeal with your insurance company. It's the proof that supports your case, like medical history, diet and exercise efforts, medication history, or relevant medical studies. This evidence is crucial because it shows the insurance company why they should approve your claim or reconsider a decision they've made.

We provide 3 types of supporting insurance evidence.

(1) Appeal Evidence - is the information you provide when you disagree with your insurer's decision about a claim or coverage. This could include detailed medical records, letters from your doctor explaining the necessity of a treatment, or information about how a treatment is standard for your condition. This evidence is crucial for challenging a denial or underpayment of a claim. Our role is to help you gather and present this evidence effectively, ensuring it clearly supports your need for the treatment or service claimed.

(2) Prior Authorization Evidence - is required when your health plan needs you to get approval before it covers certain medications or procedures. This evidence typically includes medical records, lab results, and a detailed rationale about why this specific medication or procedure is necessary for your condition. Our service involves assisting you in compiling comprehensive and relevant documentation to justify the medical necessity, aiming to secure approval from your insurance company for the required treatment.

(3) Step Therapy Exclusion Evidence - is used when you need to bypass the 'step therapy' protocol of your insurance plan. This protocol usually requires trying less expensive treatments before more costly ones are approved. Exclusion evidence might consist of medical records showing previous treatment attempts and failures, clinical data indicating why standard treatments are unsuitable or harmful for you, and detailed explanations about the necessity of the specific, often more expensive, treatment. We help you collect and organize this evidence to make a compelling case to your insurer that the standard step therapy process is not appropriate for your situation, thereby aiming for an exemption.
