Your right to appeal

You have the right to appeal any action that denies, reduces, or terminates (ends) Medicaid or FAMIS coverage.

An impartial representative will review the appeal. They will decide if your request for coverage should be approved based on the laws and policies that apply. You will get a decision in writing. You may appeal DMAS Appeals Division decisions to court for review of the record.
