S.C. Code Regs. 126-152 - Appeal Procedure
A. An
appeal shall be initiated by the filing of a notice of appeal within thirty
(30) days of written notice of the Agency action or decision which forms the
basis of the appeal. The failure to file the requisite notice of appeal within
the thirty (30) day period specified above shall render the Agency action or
decision final; provided, that should the written notice specify some period to
appeal other than thirty (30) days, that period shall apply; provided, that the
requirement that written notice be given by the Agency shall not be applicable
to situations where applicants for Medicaid benefits acquire the right to
appeal when the Agency fails to act on the application within the time period
specified by federal regulation.
B.
The notice of appeal shall be in writing and shall be directed to Appeals and
Hearings, Department of Health and Human Services, Post Office Box 8206,
Columbia, South Carolina 29202-8206. In appeals by providers, the notice of
appeal shall state with specificity the adjustment(s) or disallowance(s) in
question, the nature of the Issue(s) in contest, the jurisdictional basis of
the appeal and the legal authority upon which the appellant relies.
C. If a notice of appeal does not satisfy the
requirements of paragraph (B) above, the Hearing Officer, upon his own motion
or by motion by an adverse party, may require a more definite and certain
statement.
