Peer to Peer review!
I just went through this process with UHC for a revision request. Based on the reason for denial, my clinic felt they did not fully understand the issues I am experiencing so they requested a peer to peer. During the call they told my Dr if they faxed over an appeal with some additional documentation that they would approve the revision. My clinic sent over the paperwork right away and my insurance approved it 2 weeks later.
Good luck to you!
My insurance denied me twice before my surgeon had a peer to peer call. Once he had that call, they approved the same day and I had my surgery the very next week! Good luck!
