• If you're denied coverage for a necessary medical procedure, you can appeal the decision. You have the right to an independent review of your case. If the independent review panel finds that your coverage was wrongfully denied, the insurance company will be required to cover the procedure.
• If you're overcharged for a medical bill, you can dispute the bill. You can do this by contacting the billing department of the hospital or doctor's office. If you're still not satisfied with the response you receive, you can file a complaint with your state insurance commissioner.
• If you're experiencing discrimination from a health care provider, you can file a complaint. You can file a complaint with the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The OCR investigates complaints of discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, age, religion, or disability.

Fighting the health care system can be difficult, but it's important to remember that you have rights. By knowing your rights, being prepared to advocate for yourself, and getting help from others, you can fight the system and win.
