Furthermore, in the Appellate Court, there are no witnesses or testimony. Instead the lawyer for each party is allowed to submit a brief (a written argument pointing out where why and how the trial judge goofed) and, usually, to make an oral argument to explain why, from a legal standpoint, the judge was either wrong in what he did (if you were on the losing side) or was right in what he did (if you were on the winning side).

State law allows you to challenge your health plan' s noncertification and force the plan to formally review its decision. This review process is known as an appeal. An appeal is available anytime a plan issues a noncertification. The appeal process is voluntary. Keep in mind that it is not considered a noncertification when your plan refuses to pay for a service that your certificate of coverage clearly states is not covered. In that case, the right to appeal does not apply.

A written request to a higher court to modify or reverse the judgment of a trial court or intermediate level appellate court. Normally, an appellate court accepts as true all the facts that the trial judge or jury found to be true, and decides only whether the judge made mistakes in understanding and applying the law. If the appellate court decides that a mistake was made that changed the outcome, it will direct the lower court to conduct a new trial, but often the mistakes are deemed "harmless" and the judgment is left alone. Some mistakes are corrected by the appellate court -- such as a miscalculation of money damages -- without sending the case back to the trial court. An appeal begins when the loser at trial -- or in an intermediate level appellate court -- files a notice of appeal, which must be done within strict time limits (often 30 days from the date of judgment). The loser (called the appellant) and the winner (called the appellee) submit written arguments (called briefs) and often make oral arguments explaining why the lower court's decision should be upheld or overturned.
