Sometimes Alliance Health may deny, suspend, reduce or terminate a request your provider makes for you for state-funded services offered by our plan. If that happens, you will receive a letter from Alliance Health notifying you of the decision. All policies and procedures related to appeals for UM decisions are in adherence with 10A NCAC 27G .7004. The letter will include information regarding the reason for the decision and any available options while the appeal is under review. State-funded services recipients have the right to appeal decisions to deny, suspend, reduce or terminate their services. Alliance Health must receive the appeal in writing within 15 working days from the date of the letter.
When you ask for an appeal with the health plan, Alliance Health has 7 business days to give you an answer.
