A real example
Sarah received a UnitedHealthcare denial for a back-pain MRI. (Sarah is fictional — no PHI.)
Before — the denial
UnitedHealthcare
Re: Pre-Service Determination — Adverse Benefit Determination
Service: MRI Lumbar Spine without contrast (CPT 72148)
After clinical review, the request has been DENIED.
Reason given
"Not medically necessary — conservative treatment not exhausted."
That's the entire reason. That's the gap we use.
After — the appeal we built
First-Level Appeal of Pre-Service Denial
UnitedHealthcare's own Medical Policy 2024-MRI-LS, Section IV(A), states lumbar MRI is medically necessary when all of these are documented:
Each element is documented — eight weeks of supervised PT (exceeding the policy's six-week minimum), positive straight-leg-raise at 35°, decreased L5 dermatome sensation, and a treating-physician note confirming the MRI determines next-step care.
Plus: ERISA § 503 disclosure, parallel state-regulator complaint, calendar of deadlines, and the right CC list.

Only 1 in 500 people appeal their insurance denials. The other 499 give up, pay out of pocket, or go without care. Insurers know this — the system is intimidating on purpose.
My wife June and I have triplets who needed 16 surgeries between them. I'm an AI researcher who got tired of fighting denials by hand, so I built this. You shouldn't need a law degree to fight for healthcare you've already paid for.
