What these numbers mean for your denial
Coverage Rights calculated a 1.9% prior-authorization denial rate for the Medicare Advantage plans in 2025. In the calculated Medicare Advantage plans appeal scope, 45% were reversed — a substantial share of challenged denials did not survive review. The underlying contract or plan figures were published by SCAN Health Plan; Coverage Rights performed the stated rollup.
The practical takeaway is narrower: an initial denial can change on review. These aggregate rates describe past decisions within the stated reporting scope; they do not predict the result of an individual appeal.
Your appeal deadline depends on your plan type
SCAN Health Plan runs this kind of plan, and the appeal rules follow the plan, not the insurer. Find the ladder and the deadlines for yours:
Common questions
What is SCAN Health Plan's prior authorization denial rate?
Coverage Rights calculated a 1.9% prior-authorization denial rate for the Medicare Advantage plans reporting scope in 2025, using the public disclosure required by federal rule CMS-0057-F. Within the calculated Medicare Advantage plans appeal scope, 45% were overturned.
How do I appeal a SCAN Health Plan denial?
Start with the appeal instructions in SCAN Health Plan's denial notice. An independent external, fair-hearing, or Medicare review may be available after the required internal review, but eligibility depends on the coverage program, plan funding, denial type, regulating jurisdiction, and whether the notice says internal review is exhausted. Use the pathway tool before choosing the next reviewer.
