When an A/R is found to be ineligible for Women’s Health Medical Assistance, the A/R is sent an appropriate notification. Appeal rights are applicable when eligibility for continued Medical Assistance is denied. Appeals and all inquiries pertaining to Women’s Health Medical Assistance cases should be filed according to Appendix B - TOC . The Department of Community Health (DCH) must be notified of all WHM hearing requests and dispositions at Eligibility.Updates@dch.ga.gov .
DPH must be notified in writing of all second-level hearing requests upon receipt of hearing being scheduled. When there is legal counsel or legal representation of the opposing opponent, DCH legal personnel must be notified to determine if the state will require legal representation.
