About
BCBS of Michigan serves as the state's largest health insurer with over 80,000 doctors in Michigan and access to 1.7 million providers nationwide. They offer multiple Medicare Advantage plan types—PPO, HMO, and HMO-POS—giving members flexibility in how they access care. Their plans typically include comprehensive benefits like dental, vision, prescription coverage, and even SilverSneakers gym memberships. But Michigan BCBS has its own unique authorization processes, state-specific medical policies, and internal review procedures that can feel overwhelming when you need care approved quickly.

BCBS of Michigan Appeals with a Patient Advocate
Michigan BCBS appeals follow both federal Medicare requirements and state-specific procedures that can trip up even experienced patients. Their multi-level review process includes internal reviews, independent medical reviews, and potential state-level appeals—each with different forms, deadlines, and requirements.
Your Solace advocate understands Michigan BCBS's specific review criteria and knows which medical policies apply to your plan type. They'll analyze why your claim was denied, gather supporting documentation that meets Michigan BCBS's standards, and present your case using the language their reviewers expect to see. Whether it's a PPO plan allowing out-of-network appeals or an HMO requiring primary care physician coordination, they know the nuances that make the difference between approval and denial.
This isn't their first Michigan BCBS appeal—and they won't stop until you get the coverage you're entitled to under your plan.
The Solace care team model
With Solace, you get both a patient advocate and a supporting physician, which we refer to as your “care team”.
Your advocate will be there to manage the day to day aspects of your care: coordinating with doctors, researching potential solutions and communicating updates to you.
Your supporting physician can unlock resources for you and your advocate that might otherwise be out of reach.
