# Prior Authorization Appeal Preflight

> Review prior authorization denials for medications, imaging, procedures, therapy, DME, or services before an appeal is submitted. Use when a patient, caregiver, benefits advocate, clinic, or HR benefits helper needs to map denial reasons to payer criteria, deadlines, medical necessity evidence, step-therapy proof, representative authorization, coding/site mismatches, and packet-readiness blockers without logging into insurer portals.
