Did you receive a denial? Don’t be discouraged; **we are here to help.**

If your insurance or Medicaid denied paying for a Cubby Bed, you can still try to get the specialized bed your loved one needs. We at Cubby are committed to helping you and your family. Below is information to guide you and show you the next steps you can take to get the bed.

Your Medical Supplier will continue to be your best point of contact in getting a Cubby Bed through insurance/Medicaid. We recommend partnering with them to explore options such as resubmission, appeals or alternative pathways. They are experts in your state and local guidelines.

Here are a few things you can ask or tell your supplier to help guide the process:

*   Ask what the next steps are available for resubmission or an appeal for your state and insurance plan.
    
*   Share any updated medical documentation or Letters of Medical Necessity (LMN) from your provider.
    
*   Confirm if there are specific forms, codes or additional information the insurer requires for a successful resubmission.
    
*   Request a timeline for how long each step usually takes, so you know what to expect.
    
*   Ask if there are alternative ways to move forward while waiting for insurance approval, such as financing or waivers.
    

Things to keep in mind:

*   Denials are not uncommon; families have found success in approvals after initially being denied. 
    
*   You will need a Medical Supplier to assist with the process, so it’s best to continue working with the same supplier.
    
*   Suppliers are experts on state laws, policy requirements, and how best to navigate insurance and [Medicaid processes.](https://cubbybeds.com/pages/medicaid-appeal-process)
    
*   Common reasons for denial often involve documentation, such as the Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN). Ensure your provider is involved in preparing or updating documents for resubmission.
    
*   The average time to process a resubmission or appeal is 1 to 2 months. Don’t get discouraged; these steps can be life-changing for your family.
