Appeal Your Infusion Therapy Denial

When your doctor orders infusion therapy, insurers shouldn't stand in the way.

Understanding Your Infusion Therapy Denial

Insurers deny infusions due to cost, preferred site-of-care, or claims of "non-medical necessity." A strong appeal can reverse this.

Common Reasons for Denial

  • ! Not medically necessary
  • ! Wrong site-of-care (home vs hospital)
  • ! Step therapy required first

How We Help

We help you explain your diagnosis, risks of delaying treatment, and why the ordered site-of-care is necessary.

Some Types of Evidence We Can Use For Supporting Your Appeal

Timely administration of infusion therapies reduces disease activity and prevents irreversible organ damage in many conditions.

Site-of-care should be determined based on clinical safety and stability, not solely cost.

Step therapy policies should not override evidence-based prescribing when prior treatments have failed or are contraindicated.

While You're Fighting Your Denial

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

Some infused medications have subcutaneous versions that may have different coverage status.

Ask your provider about biosimilars which may be on a preferred tier with your insurer.

Home infusion vs. hospital/clinic infusion may have different coverage — discuss options with your provider.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Your appeal can explain why the prescribed medication is clinically appropriate and why alternatives may be less effective or riskier in your case.
