the denial question that gets asked weekly, answered properly
the denial question that gets asked weekly, answered properly, and I am aware this is a minority view on this board. The process that has actually worked for people on this board, in order.

Correction: that is a formulary exclusion, not a prior authorisation denial. Different form, different route, different deadline.
Kept a log with every date, name of department and reference number. When they claimed no record of a call, I had the reference.
Careful — the deadline runs from the date on the letter. Waiting for a call back can cost you the appeal entirely.

This is the whole method. Answer the criterion they named, not the decision in general.
