Grievances and Appeals

If you are not happy with Carolina Complete Health, or providers, or do not agree with a decision made about your services you can ask for a Grievance or an Appeal. Appeals and grievances are different.

A grievance, or complaint, is an expression of a dissatisfaction about any matter other than an “action." If you have a problem with your health plan, care, provider, or services, you can file a complaint or grievance with the plan.

An appeal is a request to review a notice of adverse benefit determination decision by Carolina Complete Health. An adverse benefit determination is the denial, reduction, stopped, or limiting of health services for a member. If the Health Plan makes a decision on health service that you do not agree with, you can ask for an appeal.

You can ask a family member, a friend, a legal representative, or your provider/doctor to request a complaint or appeal on your behalf. If you need our help because of a hearing or vision impairment, or if you need translation services, or help filing out any forms, we can help you.
