申訴
You can file an appeal if you are not happy with a decision we made ("denial"). A denial is when we say no to a service you or your doctor asked us to give you. It could also be when we don't give you as much of a service you wanted. For example, you can file an appeal if your doctor wanted a drug we do not allow. You can also file if we didn't approve a hospital stay. If you are not happy but it is not because we said no to what you asked for, you can file a grievance.
