If you’re on California coverage with Anthem Blue Cross of California / Elevance Health:
Don’t assume every rep you talk to is licensed to give true coverage guidance or qualified to decide your appeal.

• Who made this appeal decision & what are their qualifications?
• Can you send this explanation in writing?
