Landmark Health UHC: One of the ten highest appeal overturn rates

Top-three record · High overturn-rate cohort

One of the ten highest appeal overturn rates

83.0% of this contract's filed appeals were overturned in the source record. Its overturn-rate rank is #1 of 37. The denominator is filed appeals, not all authorization requests. The percentage therefore describes reviewed appeals and must not be read as an individual outcome forecast.

Top-three record · Broad reversal reach

Overturned appeals covered a top-ten share of denials

195 overturned appeals equal 12.4% of every denial recorded for this contract. The cross-contract rank is #1 of 37. This derived measure combines appeal filing and outcome, so it supplies scale context but does not identify clinical reasons, administrative errors, or coverage rules.

Bottom-seven record · Low appeal-filing share

Only a small share of denials entered appeal

235 appeals correspond to 15.0% of the plan's denied requests. That is rank #36 of 37 for filing share. The ratio reports aggregate activity; it cannot reveal why an appeal was or was not filed, whether the underlying cases were comparable, or what happened outside the reporting window.

Bottom-seven record · Smaller request-volume cohort

One of the narrower authorization records

The source records 32,000 requests here, placing the contract in the smallest-volume tier. Its request-volume rank is #35 of 37. Volume shows the denominator behind approvals and denials; it is not a measure of plan quality, membership, benefit breadth, price, or future coverage decisions.

Bottom-seven record · Lower denial-rate cohort

One of the ten lowest denial rates

Landmark Health UHC's 4.9% rate belongs to the lowest-denial tier in this table. The exact rank is #35 of 37. This is aggregate prior-authorization activity for the reporting window, not a probability that a particular service, drug, or beneficiary request will be denied.
