Help appealing biologic denials for conditions like RA, Crohn's, and psoriasis.

Appeal Your Biologic Medication Denial

Humira, Skyrizi, Stelara, Entyvio, and others are routinely denied.

Understanding Your Biologic Medication Denial

Biologics for RA, Crohn's, psoriasis and more are often denied for step therapy or "insufficient severity."

Common Reasons for Denial

  • ! Must try cheaper medications first
  • ! Condition not severe enough
  • ! Off-label use not covered

How We Help

We help you articulate clinical severity, treatment failures, diagnostic evidence, and medical rationale that insurers need to see.

Some Types of Evidence We Can Use For Supporting Your Appeal

Professional guidelines include biologics as treatment options for various autoimmune conditions when prescribed by a specialist.

Your rheumatologist, gastroenterologist, or dermatologist's treatment plan is key evidence for your appeal.

Documentation of prior treatment attempts and their outcomes strengthens appeals for biologic coverage.

While You're Fighting Your Denial

Talk to your provider about these options that might help bridge the gap:

While fighting your denial, ask your provider about biosimilar options which may have different coverage status.

Some conditions may respond to conventional DMARDs (like methotrexate) as a bridge while appealing.

Different biologics with similar mechanisms may have better formulary status with your insurer.
