6 Service Provider Appeals

6.1 Fair Hearing Requests

6.1 Fair Hearing Requests

If a service provider does not agree with the decision regarding their application, the service provider may request a fair hearing by sending a letter to the Division of Hearing and Appeals, PO Box 7875, Madison, WI 53707-7875 within 45 days of the notice of decision.

Hearing requests should include the service provider’s name, mailing address, signature, decedent's case number, a brief description of the issue, and which state agency took the action.

Note: Wisconsin Admin. Code § HA 1.04(3) states that “All appeals shall be filed within the time specified by statute or administrative code or, where no time is specified, within 30 days of the date of the order or decision to be reviewed. Appeals shall be filed and served in accordance with s. HA 1.03.” The 45-day time period is a legacy timeframe that still applies.

Note: Only providers have appeal rights. Family members do not have appeal rights.
