Quick Answer
Start with the Anthem denial notice: identify the exact Blue Cross Blue Shield plan, the denial reason, the filing address, and the deadline shown. For many employer plans, federal rules provide at least 180 days to request review and access to relevant decision records. Marketplace and state-regulated plans may follow different procedures, so the notice and plan document control.
