Request Appeal for Drug Coverage

Quién puede hacer solicitudes

Your prescriber may ask us for an appeal on your behalf. If you want another individual (such as a family member or friend) to request an appeal for you, that individual must be your representative. Contact us to learn how to name a representative.

Because we, WellCare, denied your request for coverage of (or payment for) a prescription drug, you have the right to ask us for redetermination (appeal) of our decision. You have 60 days from the date of our Notice of Denial of Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage to ask us for a redetermination. Puede enviarnos este formulario por correo postal o por fax:

Address	Fax Number
WellCare Health Plans P.O. Box 31383 Tampa, FL 33631	1-866-388-1766

Expedited appeal requests can be made by phone at 1-888-550-5252.

Expedited Decision If you or your prescriber believe that waiting 7 days for a standard decision could seriously harm your life, health, or ability to regain maximum function, you can ask for an expedited (fast) decision. If your prescriber indicates that waiting 7 days could seriously harm your health, we will automatically give you a decision within 72 hours. If you do not obtain your prescriber's support for an expedited appeal, we will decide if your case requires a fast decision. You cannot request an expedited appeal if you are asking us to pay you back for a drug you already received.

CHECK THIS BOX IF YOU BELIEVE YOU NEED A DECISION WITHIN 72 HOURS.
If you have a supporting statement from your prescriber, attach it to this request.

Please explain your reasons for appealing. Enter any additional information you believe may help your case, such as a statement from your prescriber and relevant medical records. You may want to refer to the explanation we provided in the Notice of Denial of Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage.

Signature of person requesting the appeal (the enrollee, the enrollee's prescriber, or representative) and date are required upon submission.
