APPOINTMENT OF REPRESENTATIVE

Did you know?

You can ask someone to act on your behalf. If you want to, you can name another person to act for you as your “representative” to ask for an organization determination (coverage decision). There may be someone who is already legally authorized to act as your representative under State law. If you want a friend, relative, your doctor or other provider, or other person to be your representative, print out and complete this Appointment of Representative form in English or Spanish. The form must be signed by you and by the person who you would like to act on your behalf. You must send in or fax a copy of the signed form to 1-212-908-8701.

Did you know?

If you are turning 65 within the next 3 months or you are 65 years of age or older, you may be entitled to additional medical benefits through the Medicare program. If you have Medicaid, you MUST apply for Medicare as a condition of continuous eligibility.
