Filing an Appeal

Appeals must be filed with Humana Military within specific deadlines. If you are not satisfied with a decision rendered on an appeal, there are further levels of appeal. For specific information about filing an appeal, contact Humana Military.

Prior-authorization-denial appeals may either be expedited or non-expedited, depending on the urgency of the situation. You or an appointed representative must file an expedited appeal within three calendar days after receipt of the initial denial. A non-expedited review of a denial must be filed no later than 90 days after receipt of the initial denial.

Appeals should contain the following information:
  

  • Beneficiary’s name, address, and telephone number
  • Sponsor’s Social Security number (SSN)
  • Beneficiary’s date of birth
  • Beneficiary’s or appealing party’s signature
A description of the issue or concern must include:
    
  • The specific issue in dispute
  • A copy of the previous denial determination notice
  • Any appropriate supporting documents
Send your appeal to Humana Military.
