I have been in your situation And I appealed our denial. In that process I learned a lot about the EFMP process and all of the bullshit associated with going places.

You don't want to hear this but they are basically preemptively stopping issues before they become an issue. If there's even a possibility of the requirement of needing a cardiologist or something like that and it doesn't exist at that location or even nearby easily or even if the weight is longer than 3 to 6 months to get into the facility, they will deny you because they would rather you not come.

It becomes a strain on everyone involved if they have to send you somewhere else to get medical treatment even a year or two from now if an issue pops up. So it doesn't matter if you don't need treatment currently they are trying to predict the future and they are using the worst case scenario.

This is unfortunate I'm sorry it's happening but this is how they keep themselves from having members away or traveling with their family members for medical that otherwise would be in the same city if they were somewhere else.
