Judicial Review

(A) If the appellant is dissatisfied with the final decision of the hearing officer, he or she may exercise the further right of judicial review in accordance with M.G.L. c.30A. The right to such judicial review is also available to a nursing facility regarding a final decision in a hearing instituted under 130 CMR 610.032(C). (B) A party seeking judicial review must file a complaint with the Superior Court in the county where that party lives or has its principal place of business, or in Suffolk County, within 30 days after receipt of the fair hearing decision. (C) If the appellant timely requests a rehearing or remand, in accordance with 130 CMR 610.091, then the decision following the rehearing or remand, or the denial of the request for the rehearing or remand, is the MassHealth agency's final action and the appellant has 30 days from the final action to file a complaint for judicial review. (D) The MassHealth agency must notify the appellant and his or her appeal representative of the appellant’s right to seek judicial review and of the time limits for seeking such review.
