Overturn an insurance denial for a heart test with a Deep Research appeal
When her husband's insurer called a nuclear stress test experimental and denied it, NJ Shelsby used ChatGPT Deep Research to find five peer-reviewed studies, then drafted an appeal letter for the cardiologist to review. A week later the insurer reversed its decision.

What you get
Peer-reviewed evidence that a denied test or treatment is standard care, plus an appeal letter for your doctor to review and send.
Tools
- ChatGPT with Deep Research
- The denial letter
Steps
- Read the denial reason carefully, for example "experimental" or "not medically necessary".
- Ask a research mode to find peer-reviewed studies and guidelines that contradict that reason.
- Have it draft an appeal letter citing those studies.
- Give the draft to the doctor who ordered the test to review and send.
Copy-ready prompt
My insurer denied [test/treatment] for [patient, relevant history] as [denial reason quoted from the letter]. Find peer-reviewed studies and professional guidelines showing this test is standard, effective care for patients like this. List each with its title, journal, year and link, plus a one-line finding. Then draft an appeal letter for the ordering doctor to review and sign, citing the strongest 3-5 sources. Only cite sources you can link to.
Watch out: Check that every study exists and says what the letter claims before it's sent. Not stated in the source whether the doctor edited the draft.
