File an Appeal for your Part D Prescription Drugs (Redetermination)

If we say no to your prescription drug coverage request, you can decide if you want to make an appeal. If we say no, you have the right to request an appeal.

Requesting an appeal means asking us to reconsider – and possibly change – the decision we made.

What to do

To start your appeal, you (or your representative or your doctor or other prescriber) must contact us.

If you are asking for a standard appeal, make your appeal by submitting a written request. You can find the form here (English ) (Spanish ).

If you are asking for a fast appeal, you may make your appeal in writing or you may call us.

Our contact information can be found below. We must accept any written request, Including a request submitted on the CMS Model Coverage Determination Request Form, which is available on our website.

You must make your appeal request within 60 calendar days from the date on the written notice we sent to tell you our answer to your request for a coverage decision. If you miss this deadline and have a good reason for missing it, we may give you more time to make your appeal. Examples of good cause for missing the deadline may include if you had a serious illness that prevented you from contacting us or if we provided you with incorrect or incomplete information about the deadline for requesting an appeal.

If your health requires it, ask for a “fast appeal”

If you are appealing a decision we made about a drug you have not yet received, you and your doctor or other prescriber will need to decide if you need a “fast appeal.” If we are using the fast deadlines, we must give you our answer within 72 hours after we receive your appeal. We will give you our answer sooner if your health requires it.

Deadlines for a "standard appeal "

‍ If we are using the standard deadlines, we must give you our answer within 7 calendar days after we receive your appeal for a drug you have not received yet.

If we say no to your appeal, you decide if you want to continue with the appeals process and make another appeal.

If we say no to your appeal, we will send a written notice telling you why we said no.  You then choose whether to accept this decision or continue by making another appeal.  The written notice tells you how to make another appeal.  If you decide to make another appeal, it means your appeal is going on to Level 2 of the appeals process.  If you decide to go on to a Level 2 Appeal, the Independent Review Organization (C2C Innovative Solutions, Inc) reviews the decision we made when we said no to your first appeal. C2C decides whether the decision we made should be changed.
