Helping Patients and Families Appeal Insurance Denials Across Ohio and Kentucky

about me

Fighting Health Insurance Denials with Facts, Insurance Plan Language, and Relentless Advocacy

Hi, I’m Frank Mungo. I’m a trial lawyer who helps patients and families in Kentucky and Ohio challenge health insurance denials for medically necessary care. I focus on health insurance appeals, including employer plans (Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA)), Marketplace coverage (Affordable Care Act (ACA)), individual policies, and Medicare Advantage. When an insurer refuses to pay for treatment your doctor recommends, I work with you to understand the denial, confirm the deadlines, and build an evidence-backed appeal grounded in the plan’s terms. My goal is to give you a clear path forward and the strongest possible position to pursue the benefits your coverage provides.

Frank Headshot

Health Insurance Denial Appeal Attorney Serving Kentucky and Ohio


If your health insurance company denied care your doctor recommends, do not assume the decision is final. You may have the right to appeal, and deadlines can be short. I help patients and families in Kentucky and Ohio challenge health insurance denials through a structured, evidence-backed appeal process.

I am a former felony prosecutor with a background in science and engineering. I bring a disciplined approach to health insurance appeals by reviewing the denial letter, identifying the plan rules and criteria applied, and preparing a complete, deadline-driven appeal supported by medical records, treating-provider support, and the plan’s terms.

I handle denials under employer plans (Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA)), Medicare Advantage (Part C), Marketplace plans (Affordable Care Act (ACA)), and individual policies. Denials can feel discouraging and confusing. You do not have to navigate the process alone.

Frank Mungo, Esq., Health Insurance Denial and Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) Appeal Lawyer

Founder, AppealHealthcare.com–Licensed in Kentucky and Ohio

When patients are denied care, I help them challenge the decision with facts, deadlines, and a disciplined appeal strategy grounded in the plan’s terms.

I founded Appeal Healthcare for one reason: to help patients and families fight back when health insurance companies deny medically necessary care. My practice focuses on health insurance denial appeals involving surgery, prescription drugs, mental health treatment, rehabilitation, and specialty care. I review the denial letter, identify the plan language and criteria the insurer relied on, and build a complete, deadline-driven appeal supported by medical records and treating-provider support.

Legal expertise with a scientific edge

I am a former felony prosecutor with a background in physics and engineering. I approach appeals the way insurers do, by translating “medical necessity,” “plan exclusions,” “utilization review,” and clinical criteria into a clear, evidence-backed response. That means your appeal is organized, specific, and built to address every stated reason for the denial.

Why patients turn to Appeal Healthcare

I represent patients across Kentucky and Ohio in appeals involving federally regulated and state-regulated health plans, including employer plans governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), Marketplace plans governed by the Affordable Care Act (ACA), individual policies, Medicare Advantage, and other managed-care arrangements where applicable. I handle denials involving prior authorization, out-of-network issues, step therapy, formulary restrictions, and post-service claim denials. My focus is simple: build the strongest possible appeal record and guide you to the next best step.

What sets my practice apart

  • Focused practice: Health insurance denial appeals are the work, not a side project.
  • Technical fluency: I understand medical records, plan language, and the rules that govern coverage decisions.
  • Issue spotting: I look for medical, procedural, and plan-based flaws in the denial rationale.
  • Urgency: Deadlines are short, and delays can change treatment options. I work to move quickly and prepare thoroughly.

Denied care is not the end. It is where we begin.

If you received a denial letter, you do not have to navigate this alone. Please share your denial letter and any supporting documents, and I will review them and follow up to discuss your options.
