External Medical Appeal and Rescission of Coverage Sample Clauses

External Medical Appeal and Rescission of Coverage. For medical Appeals and Rescission of Coverage, the second level will be handled by an external Independent Review Organization (IRO) that is not affiliated with Us and randomly assigned by the Louisiana Department of Insurance. A Member must exhaust all internal Appeal opportunities prior to requesting an External Appeal conducted by an Independent Review Organization. If the Member still disagrees with the internal medical Appeal decision or Rescission of Coverage, a written request for an External Appeal must be submitted within four (4) months of receipt of the internal medical Appeal decision or Rescission of Coverage. Requests submitted to Us after four (4) months of receipt of the internal medical Appeal decision or Rescission of Coverage will not be considered. You are required to sign the form included in the internal medical Appeal denial notice which authorizes release of medical records for review by the IRO. Appeals submitted by your Provider will not be accepted without this form completed with Your signature. We will provide the IRO all pertinent information necessary to conduct the Appeal. The external review will be completed within forty-five (45) days of Our receipt of the External Appeal. The IRO will notify the Member, his authorized representative, or a Provider authorized to act on the Member’s behalf of its decision. The IRO decision will be considered a final and binding decision on both the Member and Us for purposes of determining coverage under a health Contract. This Appeals process shall constitute your sole recourse in disputes concerning determinations of whether a health service or item is or was Medically Necessary or Investigational, except to the extent that other remedies are available under State or Federal law.
