Wait, does that mean I have to respond to my own appeals within 20 days? I better start working on that backlog! Just kidding, I know these rules are for the health plans, not us patients.

Haha, I bet the exam writers had fun coming up with these options. 'Fewer than 20 days' - that's a pretty specific timeframe, don't you think? I'll keep that in mind when I see similar questions.

The correct answer is B) 1 and 2 only. Health plans typically have a shorter timeframe for expedited appeals, and the review period starts when the appeal arrives at the health plan.
