File a Complaint

Speak up: Your voice will be heard

Virtually every third-party payer has a formal internal complaint submission mechanism. Physicians may be able to successfully resolve disputes through the payer's internal process. However, if you have submitted a claim appeal or complaint to the payer and believe it was not handled fairly, your practice may benefit from an impartial review of your complaint conducted by a state insurance regulatory agency, your state medical association or the AMA. The complaint submission mechanisms offered through these organizations can be helpful in resolving payer disputes.

The AMA has made it easier for you to file a complaint. Use the interactive map or the listing of states below to view the complaint process for your state.
