The Health Care Reform law includes rules about appeals. Many plans have to follow these rules. If your plan is covered by the law, contact the Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) at 1-866-444-EBSA (3272) for help with an appeal.
Living outside the United States?
You may have a medical plan that covers you or your family while you’re living outside the United States. If it's subject to the U.S. health care reform law, choose the state where the plan sponsor has its main place of business. Call the toll-free number on the back of your medical plan ID card if you're not sure.
