How to contact us when you are making an appeal about your medical care

How to file an appeal?

An appeal is the action you or your authorized representative can take if you disagree with a decision Florida Complete Care (HMO I-SNP) Health Plan has made on an Organization Determination.

When we have completed the review, we will provide you, our decision.

There are five successive levels to the appeals process:

Level 1: Reconsideration by the health plan.
Level 2: Review by the Independent Review Entity (IRE)
Level 3: Hearing by an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ)
Level 4: Review by the Medicare Appeals Council (MAC)
Level 5: Review by a Federal District Court.

A decision may be appealed to the next level of appeal when the lower appeal entity issues a decision that is unfavorable to the member. Each unfavorable decision letter will provide instructions on how to move to the next level of appeal.

You or your authorized representative can request a first level appeal by requesting Florida Complete Care plan review an unfavorable organization decision. Reconsideration/appeal requests must be filed with the health plan within 60 calendar days from the date of the notice of the organization determination decision letter. You may file an expedited reconsideration requests orally or in writing. Standard reconsideration requests must be made in writing.

If you or your legal representative requires assistance in preparing and submitting your written Reconsideration request, please contact the Florida Complete Care Member Services department and a Case Manager Assistant (CMA) will assist you.

Once the request is received by Florida Complete Care we will decide and provide notice of our decision as quickly as your health requires, but no later than 72 hours for expedited requests, 30 calendar days for (Pre-Service) standard requests, or 60 calendar days for (Claim denial) requests. If the decision is unfavorable, you or your authorized representative can request further review.

After the first level of appeal, all following levels of appeal will be reviewed by an entity that is contracted with the Medicare Program, or the federal court system. This will help ensure a fair and impartial decision.
