Rejected authorization in private insurance: step by step
A rejection does not close the case
Many rejections recover if the clinic acts fast with the right information. Read the literal denial reason, do not summarize it. ASISA publishes four common reasons; not all of them are fixable the same way.
How to classify the rejection in 60 seconds
Four families: documentary, clinical, coverage and timing. Only the documentary family normally resolves through a corrected resubmission without clinical escalation.
How to prepare a resubmission that can actually be approved
Quote the original rejection with its reference. Attach the missing document or the precise correction. Repeat the code as it appears in the policy. Do not resubmit from scratch unless the insurer requires it.
When it stops being worth the effort
If the reason is coverage, waiting period or arrears, no resubmission will fix it. Communicate honestly, offer a private quote and document the case.
