For patients & caregivers facing a denial
Your claim was denied. You don't have to figure out the appeal alone.
Upload your denial letter and records. AppealAngle reads them, finds your deadline, maps the denial to your plan's own language, and builds a complete, evidence-backed appeal packet — that you review and file. Private, and it works on any device.
You won't be charged today. Your records are encrypted, never used to train AI, and deleted after your packet is built.
The problem
The odds are in your favor. The paperwork is not.
Appeals work far more often than people expect — yet almost nobody files one. The reason isn't hopelessness. It's that the process is a labyrinth, and most people don't even know where to start. In one national survey, 69% of people with a denied claim didn't know they had the right to appeal, and 85% never filed a formal appeal. (KFF)
If you've just been denied, you already know the feeling:
- Your denial letter says "not medically necessary" — but not which part of your plan that's based on, or what would change their mind.
- Your plan document is a hundred pages of dense language, and the clause that matters is buried somewhere inside it.
- There's a deadline — often 180 days — and if you miss it, the door closes.
- You're doing this while sick, or while caring for someone who is.
That's the gap AppealAngle closes: it turns a pile of documents and a scary letter into a clear, organized packet you can actually act on.
How it works
Four steps, from denial letter to ready-to-file packet
1. Upload what you have
Your denial letter, plan documents (EOC/SBC), and any medical records or provider notes. Missing something? AppealAngle tells you what's still needed.
2. It reads and maps everything
We extract the exact denial reason, find your appeal deadline, and map that reason to the specific language in your plan — then cross-check it against your evidence for contradictions.
3. Review your packet
You get a complete, source-cited packet: the issues to raise, the evidence that supports each one, what's still missing, and a draft appeal letter marked "DRAFT — NOT FOR SUBMISSION" for you to edit and approve.
4. You file it — your way
AppealAngle never submits anything for you or contacts your insurer. You stay in control of every word and every step.
What's in your packet
A complete appeal — not just a letter
Most tools hand you a letter and wish you luck. AppealAngle assembles the whole working file, and every claim in it traces back to one of your own documents.
Denial decoded
The exact reason and codes pulled from your letter, in plain English — so you know precisely what you're arguing against.
Your real deadline
We find the filing window in your letter and plan type (ERISA, ACA, or Medicare) so you don't lose your appeal to the calendar.
Policy-language map
The denial reason mapped to the exact clause in your own plan document — the hundred-page haystack, indexed to the needle.
Contradiction log
Where the insurer's rationale conflicts with your plan language or your medical evidence — your strongest points to press.
Evidence checklists
What supports medical necessity for your specific denial — and a separate list of what's still missing before you file.
Draft appeal letter
Assembled from your issues and evidence, cited to your sources, and clearly marked a draft for you to review, edit, and own.
Your privacy
Your medical records deserve better than a chatbot
The most common reason people don't get help with an appeal: they don't want to upload their medical records to some app. We took that seriously and built for it.
- Encrypted end to end — in transit and at rest.
- Never used to train AI. We process under a Business Associate Agreement with zero data retention.
- Deleted after your packet is built. We don't keep a copy of your records.
- Works on any device — phone, laptop, or an old desktop. Nothing to install.
AppealAngle is a direct-to-consumer tool and is not a HIPAA-covered entity; we don't claim to be one. What we do promise is written plainly in our Privacy Policy, including how to request deletion.
Why AppealAngle
Honest about what this is — and what it isn't
We're not going to show you fake testimonials or invented success rates. Here's the straight version:
Appeals genuinely work
When prior-authorization denials are appealed, roughly 83% are overturned. (AMA) The problem has never been that appeals don't work — it's that almost no one files one.
We can't promise an outcome
No honest tool can. Your insurer decides. What we do is make sure your appeal is complete, on time, grounded in your plan's own language, and as strong as your evidence allows.
Any denial type
Imaging, procedures, therapy (ABA, speech, OT), medications, and "not medically necessary" denials — not just a short list of drugs.
You stay in control
We don't submit for you, don't contact your insurer, and don't give legal or medical advice. Every draft is yours to review, change, and approve.
