Alaska Health Appeal Packet 1 — Level 1 Appeal to AETNA is a packet that is used by healthcare providers to file an appeal with Aetna, a health insurance provider. The packet includes documents such as the Medical Necessity form, the Medical Records form, and the Authorization for Release of Information form. It also includes a letter of appeal, which includes the patient's name, date of birth, Aetna ID number, and a description of the medical situation. The packet also includes a detailed explanation of why the provider believes the services they are requesting should be covered by Aetna, along with any supporting evidence such as medical records, lab results, and a physician’s statement. There are two types of Alaska Health Appeal Packet 1 — Level 1 Appeal to AETNA: the standard appeal packet and the expedited appeal packet. The standard appeal packet is the most basic level of appeal and is filed when a healthcare provider is seeking coverage for services that Aetna has denied without providing any additional explanation. The expedited appeal packet is used when the healthcare provider believes the service should be covered and that there is an urgent medical need for them to be provided. This type of appeal is processed more quickly than the standard appeal packet.
