Hearing Requests
A provider who wishes to contest a Wisconsin DHS (Department of Health Services) action or inaction for which due process is
required under Wis. Stat. ch. DHS 227, may request a hearing by writing to the DHA (Division of Hearings and Appeals).
A provider who wishes to contest DMS (Division of Medicaid Services)'s notice of intent to recover payment (for example, to
recoup for overpayments discovered in an audit by DMS) is required to request a hearing on the matter within the time period
specified in the notice. The request, which must be in writing, should briefly summarize the provider's basis for contesting DHS's
decision to withhold payment.
Refer to Wis. Admin. Code ch. DHS 106 for detailed instructions on how to file an appeal.
If a timely request for a hearing is not received, DHS may recover those amounts specified in its original notice from future
amounts owed to the provider.
Note: Providers are not entitled to administrative hearings for billing disputes.
