A clearer path through a Medicare appeal

Tap any step to see what it means.

  • Work out where you stand

    • Choose the appeal type

      Find the path for Medicare Advantage, Part D prescriptions, Original Medicare coverage, Medicare premiums and Extra Help, enrollment and entitlement, or PACE services.

    • Understand the notice

      See what the decision means, why it happened, and what options may be available.

    • Calculate both deadlines

      CaseWhy calculates the two relevant deadlines for the case, so your family can see how much time is available.

  • Write and send the appeal

    • Preview your appeal letter

      Starting is free. Review the letter before deciding whether to pay to download it.

    • Send the appeal

      Get instructions on where and how to submit it. Your family remains in control of sending it.

    • Pay once, if you choose

      There's no subscription or recurring charge. One payment covers later letters for that case for 12 months.

  • Keep track of what happens next

    • Keep both deadlines current

      The Appeal Tracker maintains both clocks as the case progresses, alongside its steps, forms, and dates.
