Your Rights Under Medicaid

A Social Services Medicaid technician will determine if you are eligible for Medicaid benefits and will send you a letter if your application (for non-disabled categories) has been accepted or denied within 45 days of the date of your application. If you are applying and have a disability that must be evaluated, it can take up to 60 days to determine if you are eligible.

If you are dissatisfied with our decision, you may request a conference with the agency. You may also appeal to the Division of Administrative Hearings and request a hearing.

• How do I request a hearing?

• Telephone your technician and ask him or her to report a hearing on your behalf, or
• Write to the Division of Administrative Hearings, 633 17th Street, Suite 1300, Denver, CO 80202.
