Medicaid Denial Assistance

What does it mean when you receive a Medicaid denial letter? Are there any steps that can be taken IF you do receive a Denial letter? At Richard A. Myers Jr. and Associates, we are here to help our clients with Medicaid planning and assistance!

There are many reasons as to why you might receive a Medicaid denial letter, but there are actions you can take to appeal that denial.

Review the Basics of the Denial 

The first thing you need to do if you receive a Medicaid denial letter is to take the time to review why you were denied. It is common for someone who is trying to apply for Medicaid without professional assistance to be denied. This is because so much goes into these applications, and it can be very confusing, unfortunately. 

So, the first thing we need to do is get a copy of that letter and see what the basis of that denial was.

Reapply Right Away

If you do receive a denial, file a new application right away. There is a strict timeline to adhere to with appeals, and that can push your approval back even further. 

What Are Common Reasons for Medicaid Denial?

• Missing documents
• Late Verifications
• Caseworker Errors
• Denial Letters for Care You Did Not Apply For

Save Time and Money by Hiring a Professional

We always recommend getting professional help first. Since the application process can be so confusing, it can help you save time, get your care faster, and avoid denial the first time. It is more costly to appeal a denial rather than start on the right foot with an attorney.
