Abstrakt: The purpose of health insurance is to pay for preventative and non-preventative health care. Unfortunately, claim denials are frequent and most people do not contest these denials. Consumers lack both knowledge and self-efficacy to challenge their health insurance decision. Conflict is stressful and can occur when a health insurance claim is denied unexpectedly. Faced with uncertainty of health care cost coverage, consumers are more likely to delay or forgo healthcare and jeopardize their health. To address this challenge, increase awareness of claim appeal processes and to provide consumer guidance, Maryland Extension developed a Health Insurance Claim Navigation Tool. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
