In 2024, insurers in the ACA Marketplace denied 19% of in-network claims, according to federal transparency reports from CMS. This denial rate raises concerns about the operational efficiency of health insurance providers within the marketplace framework.
The data indicates that consumers seldom appeal these denied claims, suggesting potential gaps in consumer understanding or support mechanisms for navigating the appeals process.
These findings underscore the need for improved infrastructure and support systems to enhance claims processing and consumer engagement in the ACA Marketplace.
