Filing an Appeal for your Part C Benefits
If you received a “denial letter” about an organization decision and you are not satisfied with the decision, you can “appeal” the decision. An appeal is a formal way of asking us to review and change a coverage decision we have made. We review the coverage decision we made based on the additional information you provided. Your appeal is handled by different reviewers than those who made the original unfavorable decision. When we have completed the review we give you our decision.
If we say no to all or part of your appeal (Level 1) you can go on to a Level 2 appeal. The Level 2 appeal is conducted by an independent organization that is not connected to Brand New Day in any way. In some situations, your case will be automatically sent to the independent organization for a Level 2 appeal. If this happens, we will let you know. If you are not satisfied with the decision at the Level 2 appeal, you maybe able to continue through several more levels of appeal.

We Are Interested In Hearing From You
Brand New Day is interested in hearing from you about what isn’t working as well as you would like it to. We are interested in complaints you may have about services you received, the way you were treated, the care you received (or didn’t receive in a timely manner), if you were charged incorrectly, or any other complaint you may have. We want to correct any inappropriate behavior, processes, or payments. You will not be "in trouble "or mistreated by us or your doctors if you complain - we are required to treat you fairly.
We’ll make sure of it. Your calls help us to improve. For more information on how to file a complaint and/or grievance, please visit the File a Grievance
