AultCare communicates your appeal rights in many ways to ensure each member understands their rights. Your plan documents, your Explanation of Benefits, and a benefit denial letter describe your appeal rights as an AultCare member. Every member is granted the same first level of appeal rights or internal review. If you initiate a first-level appeal and we uphold our original decision, your resolution letter will outline your additional appeal rights, which may include external review rights. Your rights vary depending on state and federal laws.
For more information on your appeal rights, you can review your plan document, Explanation of Benefits, benefit denial letter, appeal resolution letter or contact AultCare customer service for a copy of your appeal procedure at 330-363-6360 or toll-free 1-800-344-8858.
