CMS Pub. 100-04, ch. 29, § 270.2.1
Assignment of Appeal Rights - Introduction
A beneficiary may assign his or her appeal rights to a provider or supplier who furnished an item or service
to the beneficiary that is at issue in an appeal. Only providers or suppliers who are not a party to the initial
determination may accept assignment of appeal rights from a beneficiary (See §210 for information on who
is a party to an appeal.)
Because beneficiaries have difficulty understanding the term “assignment of appeal rights”, we use the term
“transfer of appeal rights” on the related form and for communication to beneficiaries. For the remainder of
these instructions, we will also use the term “transfer” instead of “assignment” of appeal rights, whenever
appropriate. The transfer of appeal rights is valid for the duration of the appeal, unless revoked by the
beneficiary.
