FINRA requires investors and other parties to file their arbitration claims via the DR Portal—except for investors representing themselves, who have the option to file by mail. If you are new to the DR Portal, please create an account. Login to the DR Portal and select “File a New Arbitration Claim” in the left column.
Arbitration is similar to going to court, but faster, cheaper and less complex than litigation. If the case settles, an arbitration will last around one year. If the case goes to hearing, an arbitration typically takes 16 months.
Lack of transparency. Arbitration hearings are generally held in private which may be a positive to many. However, it is possible that this lack of transparency makes the process more likely to be biased, which may be problematic because arbitration decisions are also infrequently reviewed by the courts.
Things to Include in Your Appeal Letter Patient name, policy number, and policy holder name. Accurate contact information for patient and policy holder. Date of denial letter, specifics on what was denied, and cited reason for denial. Doctor or medical provider's name and contact information.
In voluntary or non-binding arbitration, the insurer and the policyholder agree to meet with an arbitrator to review the claim. Once the arbitrator makes their decision on the claim, both parties then have the option to accept or reject it. If the decision is ultimately denied, the case can then be appealed.
Outline a concise factual background and then move on to a discussion of the issues at the heart of the case. Your arguments should flow easily from the relevant facts and applicable law. And, by all means, avoid exaggeration of the strengths of your case as well as disparagement of the opposing side.
The witness statement should include some promise (whether an oath or similar) by the witness that the evidence is true. Depending on the procedure adopted in an arbitration, the party which did not call the witness may cross-examine the witness.
In conclusion, an effective opening statement will tell the arbitrator in a concise, courteous fashion exactly what the factual situation in the case is, what the issues are, how the advocate wants the arbitrator to rule on the issues, and exactly what relief is being requested.
Your letter of arbitration should be concise, professional, and factual. Follow the standard business letter format, including your name and contact information at the top. Ensure that your writing is clear, and avoid using jargon or technical terms that may not be familiar to the reader.
