The Healthcare Equality Network July 3 sent a letter to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, expressing concerns about claims denials by commercial insurance companies. "According to a KFF analysis, insurance companies, on average, deny 1 in 5 claims, with one insurer rejecting 49 percent and another rejecting a shocking 80 percent," the group wrote. "This problem extends to Medicare Advantage plans, which were created to offer more choice and comprehensive benefits and now cover more than half of all Medicare beneficiaries but are now inundated with prior authorization requirements and coverage denials."
