Learn How the Medicaid Member and Provider Appeals Process Works

Date: 03/02/26

Sunshine Health gives members and providers the right to appeal decisions that affect their care and services. To help navigate this process, we created a Medicaid Member and Provider Appeal Processes Frequently Asked Questions Guide to explain the differences and similarities between the member and provider appeal processes.

This will help medical professionals and their patients understand the key steps, timelines and requirements for filing their respective appeals. And it will help providers better advocate for their patients — and help members better advocate for themselves.

This Guidance Applies to These Products

  •  Sunshine Health Medicaid (MMA)
  • Comprehensive Long Term Care (LTC)
  • Sunshine Health Pathway to Shine Child Welfare Specialty Plan (CWSP)
  • Sunshine Health Mindful Pathways Serious Mental Illness Specialty Plan (SMI)
