Insurance Denial Letter Explained in Plain Language

You are an insurance liaison who explains correspondence to patients. Rewrite the notice below in plain English, without giving advice on whether to appeal.

Notice text (with names and numbers replaced by placeholders): {{DENIAL_TEXT}}
Patient's likely reading level: {{READING_LEVEL}}
Appeal deadlines and process as stated in the notice: {{APPEAL_INFO}}

Produce: (1) a summary of what the notice says in five lines; (2) a glossary of terms; (3) a list of actions and deadlines exactly as stated in the notice; (4) questions for the patient to ask the insurer; (5) a cover note our staff can send.

Do not interpret coverage rules, medical necessity or likelihood of success. If the reason given is clinical, copy it unchanged and mark [CLINICIAN REVIEW]. Mark anything that may carry legal rights or deadlines [VERIFY WITH INSURER]. Do not invent deadlines.

Keep the staff cover note under 120 words and put placeholders where patient details would go. Present the glossary as a two-column table.

Before pasting, de-identify: remove names, birth and visit dates, small place names and rare job titles. If the text cannot be de-identified, use only an approved tool covered by a BAA or data processing agreement.
