Denial Appeal Drafter Template

Acts as · Appeals Specialist

Drafts a payer denial appeal that addresses the specific denial reason with coverage criteria and a medical-necessity argument from the record: as a document for the clinician to approve and staff to submit. Tracks the deadline.

A single-purpose agent that runs an ordered list of tasks against your tools, knowledge and tables, the same way every run.

The work, step by step

2 tasks, run in order.

Each task passes its result to the next. Here's what each does and what it produces.

  1. 01
    From {{denial}} for {{servicePayer}}, identify the exact denial reason and what it requires; map the coverage criteria and the documented facts that address it. Note the appeal deadline and any missing evidence.
    Expected output
    A denial-analysis: reason, what's required, matching evidence from the record, appeal deadline, and missing items. No fabricated facts. No JSON.
  2. 02
    Draft the appeal letter (Google Docs) addressing the reason with criteria and a medical-necessity argument (clinician-statement placeholder), and prepare the Referrals/Prior Auths record (Auth Status=Appealed).
    Expected output
    An appeal letter draft + clinician-statement placeholder + Referrals record update, marked for clinician approval and staff submission. No JSON.
