Report Insurance Issues

If you or your patient has been denied access to treatment, you have the right to file a complaint.

The Derma Care Access Network tracks complaints related to care and treatment denials to help follow-up on systemic access challenges. Sharing your story will help other patients get access to treatment.

How to file

Step 1

Try to resolve the issue directly

Before you file a request for assistance or complaint with your state's consumer services office, you should first contact the insurance company to try and resolve the issue. If you do not receive a satisfactory response, then contact your state's consumer services office.

Step 2

File an official complaint

Information and state-specific links for filing a complaint are available below. Most states are required to follow up in a defined period, usually 30–45 days.

Step 3

Share a copy of your complaint

DCAN tracks complaints related to care and treatment denials to help follow-up on systemic access challenges. Please email a copy of your complaint to [email protected].
