C-6100, Appeals
Revision 13-2; Effective June 1, 2013
If an individual is dissatisfied with HHSC's decision concerning his eligibility for any MEPD program, including Medicaid Savings Programs, the individual has the right to appeal through the appeal process established by HHSC. In certain circumstances, the individual is entitled to receive continued benefits or services until a hearing decision is issued. Whether an individual is entitled to continued assistance is based on requirements set forth in appropriate state or federal law or regulation of the affected program. See the Fair and Fraud Hearings Handbook .
Individuals whose medical assistance is denied because of an SSA decision should file an appeal with the appropriate SSA office.
Note: If an individual submits an application during the time the continued benefits are being processed, the application must be processed as normal. See Chapters B-2300 , Eligibility Determination, B-3200 , Application Process, and B-6400 , Processing Deadlines.
