💬 AI prompt: Rung 2: the internal appeal (and the clocks)
An internal appeal is a written request asking your insurance company to change its 'no' to a 'yes', and you have a deadline to send it.
Copy this prompt
Help me draft an internal appeal letter for my health plan. Use this structure: who I am (I'll fill in), what was denied and the date of the denial letter, the plan's stated reason (quoted), a point-by-point response to each criterion with [placeholders] for the evidence my doctor will attach, and a request for a written decision. Also list the filing deadline based on 180 days from [denial date]. Do not give me medical, legal or financial advice and do not diagnose anything. Don't invent medical facts. Stop after the draft letter and deadline.

- Open Grok Bot, ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude — any of them works.
- Paste the prompt and fill in every [bracket]. Black out names, account numbers and member IDs first.

Not medical, legal or financial advice. The AI drafts; you decide and you press send.
