Telephone Redeterminations

January 2, 2006

Medicare will no longer handle Telephone Redeterminations. All Redetermination requests must be submitted in writing to NHIC. Additional information is available in the New Appeals Process: Medicare Matters 3944 (PDF) or by contacting NHIC Customer Service Department.

Previously, parties had the right to request a review or reconsideration over the telephone, however the regulations no longer provide this right. As of January 01, 2006, please submit your request for redetermination in writing to:
