Form DAB-101 (08/09)
If you have additional evidence, submit it with this request for review. If you need more time, you must request an extension of time in writing now, explaining why you are unable to submit the evidence or legal argument now.
If you are a provider, supplier, or a beneficiary represented by a provider or supplier, and your case was reconsidered by a Qualified Independent Contractor (QIC), the Medicare Appeals Council will not consider new evidence related to issues the QIC has already considered unless you show that you have a
good reason for submitting it for the first time to the Medicare Appeals Council.
IMPORTANT: Include the HICN and ALJ Appeal Number on any letter or other material you submit.
This request must be received within 60 calendar days after you receive the ALJ’s decision or dismissal, unless we extend the time limit for good cause. We assume you received the decision or dismissal 5 calendar days after it was issued, unless you show you received it later. If this request will not be received within
65 calendar days from the date on the decision or dismissal order, please explain why on a separate sheet.
You must file your request for review in writing with the Medicare Appeals Council at:
Department of Health and Human Services
Departmental Appeals Board
Medicare Appeals Council, MS 6127
Cohen Building Room G-644
330 Independence Ave., S.W.
Washington, D.C. 20201
You may send the request for review by U.S. Mail, a common carrier such as FedEx, or by fax to (202) 565-0227. If you send a fax, please do not also mail a copy. You must send a copy of your appeal to the other parties and indicate that all parties, to include all beneficiaries, have been copied on the request for review. For claims involving multiple beneficiaries, you may submit a copy of the cover letters issued or a spreadsheet of the beneficiaries and addresses who received a copy of the request for review.
If you have any questions about your request for review or wish to request expedited review of a claim involving authorization of your prescription drug under Medicare Part D, you may call the Medicare Appeals Council’s staff in the Medicare Operations Division of the Departmental Appeals Board at (202) 565-0100.
