Re: Administrative law judge hearing

[Guest guest]

A standard teleconference using phone only was used. Judge asked everyone to

identify themselves and their credentials.

Dear group,

For those of you who have gone through the Medicare denied claims appeal

process, has anyone gone to the 3rd level which is the Administrative Law Judge

hearing? I understand it is done by video teleconference.

Does the judge and the provider sit infront of a web cam and discuss the case?

The information sheet I have does not go into much details about the process.

Thank you in advance for any kind of input!
