Medicaid Administrative Hearings Requirements
Federal law ( 42 CFR 31.200-250, 431.250-Fair Hearings) provides rights for fair

administrative hearing when a benefit is denied, terminated, suspended, or reduced as a
result of a utilization review decision made by the CMHSP or its authorized designee.
The Michigan Department of Community Health/Community Health Manual, General
Administration Chapter, Legal Section provides the policy and procedures on
Administrative Hearings. The Administrative Hearings Policy and Procedure is part of
this attachment.
Medicaid recipients must be informed of and have simultaneous access to: 1) the
recipient rights procedure and 2) the MDCH Administrative Hearing Procedure

Procedures issued by the Department which were effective September 1,
1999.

an administrative hearing, if a recipient does not agree with the type or
amount of authorized services. When providing the Advance Notice of

the Hearing Request forms must also be provided. Federal law requires
that this information be given to or mailed to recipients.
Note: Advance Notice of Action, Notice of Denial of Service, Notice of Hearing
