How to obtain aggregate numbers of Grievances, Coverage Determinations, Appeals and Exceptions
As a Medicare Advantage Organization, HealthSun Health Plans must disclose grievances, coverage determinations, appeals and exceptions data, upon request, to individuals eligible to elect a Medicare Advantage organization. By appeals data we mean all appeals filed with HealthSun Health Plans that are accepted for review, or withdrawn upon the member’s request, but excludes appeals that HealthSun Health Plans forwards to CMS’ Independent Review Entity (IRE) for dismissal.
Call our Member Services Department if you have any questions at 1-877-336-2069 (TTY: 1-877-206-0500).
Appointment of Representative (AOR)
CMS Appointment of Representation Form
Medicare allows a beneficiary to appoint any individual (such as a relative, friend, advocate, physician, or an attorney) to act on his or her behalf as a representative in the grievances, coverage decisions and/or appeals process. The beneficiary making the appointment and the representative accepting the appointment must sign, date, and complete the Appointment of Representative Form. The appointment is valid for one year from the date the form is signed.
Request a Coverage Decision or an Exception
For more information, please see Chapter 9 in your plan's Evidence of Coverage (EOC).
A coverage decision about your benefits and coverage or about the amount we will pay for your medical services and prescription drugs. An exception to cover a drug that is not covered in the way you would like it to be covered; such as to remove a coverage restriction, lower cost-sharing level, or cover a drug that is not on our Formulary.
You can call a HealthSun Member Service Representative or you can send your request in writing or via fax to our main office. The request must be made by you, your physician, or your appointed representative.
The exception request must include a supporting statement. Your doctor or other prescriber must give us the medical reasons for the drug exception you are requesting.

Standard Decision:
Medical Coverage: 14 Calendar Days
Part D & Part B Drugs: 72 Hours
Fast Decision (“expedited”):
Medical Coverage: 72 Hours
Part D & Part B Drugs: 24 Hours
HealthSun may only approve your request for an exception if the alternative drug is included on our Formulary. The lower cost-sharing drug or additional utilization restrictions would not be as effective in treating your condition and/or would cause you to have adverse medical effects.
IMPORTANT: If your health requires a quick response, you should ask the plan to make a fast decision. To get a fast decision, you must ask for it and the plan will decide if your health requires a Fast Decision. To qualify, you must be asking for coverage on medical care or a drug that you have not yet received. You must also indicate that the standard timeframe could cause serious harm to your health or impair your ability to function. If your physician tells us that your health requires a Fast Decision, the plan will automatically agree to give you a Fast Decision.
