| Reconsideration / appeal | Use the applicable denial or decision notice and the process below |
Reconsideration and appeal routes
- State Fair HearingFile within 90 days
State administrative fair hearing per 42 CFR §431.220 — deadlines set by each state plan, typically 30–120 days.
Source: Medicaid (Generic Reference) provider policy. Always confirm before disputing a TFL denial — payer policies are versioned and product-specific.
Prior authorization with Medicaid (Generic Reference)
Decision deadlines depend on the product, service and urgency. CMS-0057-F generally starts its decision-timeframe requirements in 2026 for Medicare Advantage, Medicaid and CHIP payers subject to the rule: seven calendar days for standard requests and 72 hours for expedited requests. Those requirements exclude drug authorizations and QHP issuers on the federally facilitated exchanges. Other plans, state rules and permitted extensions can differ. Check the applicable policy; a decision deadline is not a guarantee of approval.

A blank or unverified field does not establish that the transaction is unavailable. Authorization requirements and submission channels depend on the product, service and delegated reviewer.
