PatientReaction: Treatment Request Denied Due to Lack of Medical Necessity

cover image

Imagine this: your doctor has made a clear diagnosis and recommended an elective surgical procedure essential for your recovery. You’ve endured months of conservative management with no success, and your doctor assures you the procedure will improve your quality of life. Confident in your insurance coverage—perhaps through your job or due to a work- related injury—you assume authorization is a given.

Then comes the shock: your procedure is denied by the insurance carrier, citing "lack of medical necessity." Your doctor, determined to advocate for your care, submits another request. Denied again. After repeated attempts, the result is the same: denial. Meanwhile, you’re left suffering with debilitating pain, unable to access the treatment your doctor says you need. Sound familiar? Unfortunately, this frustrating scenario is all too common. Whether dealing with work-related injuries, private insurance, or automobile accident claims, patients often face partial or complete denials of essential medical care.

So, what can you do when your treatment request is denied? The answer lies in the power of shared knowledge and advocacy—and the PatientReaction platform is here to help. Our Beta is live - and it's all about connection when it matters the most.
