Grievance
A formal complaint about plan conduct OTHER than a coverage decision — service, access, quality, treatment.
A grievance is a complaint about how the plan is operating, distinct from an appeal (which is about whether a benefit will be covered). Common grievance topics: poor customer service, long wait times, network access problems, quality-of-care concerns, billing disputes that aren't about coverage. Grievances follow separate tracks with different timelines.
