For which scenario might someone file an appeal?

To enroll in a new health plan
To contest a denial of coverage
To change personal information
To inquire about premiums

The correct answer is: To contest a denial of coverage

Filing an appeal is specifically designed for situations where an individual wants to challenge a decision made by a health insurance provider, particularly concerning coverage. In this context, if a person's claim for coverage has been denied, filing an appeal allows them to formally disagree with that decision and seek a reconsideration or reversal. This process gives the individual an opportunity to present additional information, clarify any misunderstandings, and advocate for the coverage they believe they are entitled to under their health plan. When considering the other scenarios, enrolling in a new health plan, changing personal information, and inquiring about premiums do not typically involve a formal appeal process. These actions are generally administrative in nature and do not relate to disputing a coverage decision issued by an insurance provider, which is the essence of an appeal. Thus, contesting a denial of coverage is the only scenario listed that warrants the filing of an appeal.
