The HMO has denied my hospital claim because I did not use a participating service provider. What are my rights, and what should I do?
Your first step is to file a written grievance with the HMO as outlined in your member booklet. The HMO is allowed 60 days from the date that a formal written grievance is filed to review it and respond to you. If the matter is not resolved after that period of time, call the Consumer Help line toll-free at 1-800-342-2762.
