7040 - Right to Reconsideration - (Rev. 4, 07-18-03)
A. You Disagree With the Hospital's Determination
If you disagree with the hospital's determination of non-coverage (i.e., you determine that
the care was covered), your decision is not subject to reconsideration as this is neither a
denial determination nor a QIO determination under §1154 of the Act.
B. You Agree With the Hospital's Determination
If you agree with the hospital's determination either prior to or after issuance of the
hospital's notice, issue a denial notice. Your determination is subject to reconsideration
in accordance with 42 CFR Part 478 and instructions found in §§7100-7115.
