What Happens

What happens when I file a grievance?

  • Once we have received your grievance, we will send you a letter within two business days. The letter will say we got your grievance.
  • We will review your grievance. We may talk with you or your personal representative, or the people involved in the situation. We may also look at your health records.
  • Someone who was not involved in the situation will review your grievance.
  • Within 15 business days after we get your grievance, we will send you a letter. This letter will say what we found and how we fixed it. Or it will let you know that we need more time. You will get a letter from us after we finish the review.
  • We will work with you or your personal representative to try to find a solution that works best for you.
