Other Issues

Problems

If at any time you disagree with any decision affecting your enrollment in the program, you have the right to request that the issue be reviewed. This process is called a reconsideration. Some examples of decisions that you may question are:

  • The disapproval of your application or renewal form;
  • The amount of your income that we record to determine your eligibility or premium assistance;
  • Cancellation of your EPIC coverage because you have not completed, signed and returned the Request for Additional Information form to EPIC.

You will always receive a written response to your inquiry. If you still disagree with our action, you have the right to a formal administrative hearing conducted by an independent hearing judge. This process is meant to protect your rights. You are encouraged to use it if you do not agree with a decision.

To ask for a reconsideration, you can write to the address above or call our toll-free Helpline at 1-800-332-3742. Please include your name and EPIC identification number on all letters sent to the EPIC program. This will help us respond quickly to your request.
