Your Right To Appeal

As a Medicare member, you have the right to appeal healthcare decisions that you disagree with. Please be sure to share this information with your family.

There are two types of appeals:

Hospital Discharge Appeals
File a Hospital Discharge Appeal if you believe you are not medically ready to go home from the hospital, or if you have not received clear discharge instructions.

Termination of Service Appeals
File a Termination of Service Appeal if you disagree with your healthcare provider's decision to terminate coverage from a nursing home, home health agency, hospice, or comprehensive outpatient rehabilitation facility.
