Our dedicated appeals team reviews the appeal, carefully assessing all relevant information and documentation. We conduct a fair and objective evaluation of the appeal, considering applicable standards, guidelines, and regulatory requirements.

In cases where additional expertise or an unbiased opinion is required, we may involve independent assessors who have no prior involvement in the disputed decision.
