Medical care denial refers to an insurer or healthcare system refusing to approve or pay for a requested treatment, procedure, or medication. It occurs through utilization review, pre-authorization failures, or policy exclusions. While intended to control costs and prevent unnecessary procedures, it primarily benefits insurance companies financially. Patients, however, face delayed care, financial strain, or worsened health outcomes, often requiring appeals or legal intervention.
