Getting Preauthorization of A Medical Procedure from a South Dakota Health Insurance Company

When a preauthorization is denied, there are some options available to you. You or your medical provider can contact the insurance company and request an appeal reconsideration or grievance of that decision.

Each insurance company who conducts preauthorization reviews must have a grievance or appeal procedure that must be disclosed with all denials. Sometimes informal contacts to discuss the decision can be effective as well.

In addition, a person could ask the Division of Insurance for assistance. A person can file a complaint by e-mail or by calling (605) 773-3563.
