Appeal of Claim Denial. The purpose of the review procedure set forth in this Section is to provide a procedure by which a Claimant under the Agreement may have a reasonable opportunity to appeal a denial of a claim for a full and fair review. If a claim is denied, in whole or in part (or if within the time periods prescribed in Section 6.2.1, the Employer or its agent has not furnished the Claimant with a denial and the claim is therefore deemed denied), and if the Claimant wishes to appeal the denial, the Claimant must file a written request with the Employer within sixty (60) days after the date on which the Claimant received written notification of the denial that the Employer conduct a full and fair review of the denial of the claim for benefits, which shall include a hearing if deemed necessary by the Employer.
