What can I do if my insurance company denies coverage for RADICAVA®?

Your insurance company may initially deny your treatment with RADICAVA®. If this happens, you may be able to do something about it. Here are some ideas you may find helpful:

  • Talk to your healthcare provider (HCP) and call your insurance provider to request an “exception” for coverage of your medication

    If you have been notified that your medication is not covered by your health plan or that you need to meet other requirements before obtaining it, you can call your insurance provider and request an “exception” for coverage of your medication.

    Review this guide for some helpful steps you may follow: Requesting an Exception from Your Health Plan.

  • Talk to your HCP to see if it may be possible to file an appeal

    If your request for an exception is denied you may be able to appeal the decision.

    Having your HCP file an appeal may help give your insurance provider more details about why you should receive treatment.

    If the appeal does not work, your HCP may request a next-level appeal. Some of the people that may be involved include a panel of HCPs, an administrative judge, or a local state representative.

  • Consider other insurance plan options

    For example, even if you are under 65, you may be eligible for Medicare or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI).

    For questions about appeals or insurance coverage, call Searchlight Support® at 1-844-SRCHLGT (1-844-772-4548) to learn more.

What can I do if I am denied infusion by a site of care?
