Examples of Complaints: Member is unhappy with the care the Member is receiving. The Member cannot receive a service or item the Member wants because it is not a covered service or item. Member has not received services that the MCO has approved for the Member. 3
4 What Is a Grievance A request to have an MCO or utilization review entity reconsider a decision concerning the medical necessity and appropriateness of a covered service. Examples of Grievances: MCO denies a service a Member requested because it is not medically necessary. MCO decreases a service a Member has been receiving because the amount of the service the Member has been receiving is not medically necessary. MCO approves a service different from the service requested because the service requested is not medically necessary. 4
