How to Appoint a Representative
You may ask us for a coverage determination yourself, or your prescribing doctor or someone you name may do it for you. The person you name would be your appointed representative. You can name a relative, friend, advocate, doctor, or anyone else to act for you. Some other persons may already be authorized under State law to act for you. If you want someone to act for you, then you and that person must sign and date a statement that gives that person legal permission to act as your appointed representative. This statement must be sent to us at HIP Health Plan of New York 55 Water Street New York, New York 10041-8190 Attn: Customer Service Dept. You can call Customer Service to learn how to name your appointed representative.
You also have the right to have an attorney ask for a coverage determination on your behalf. You can contact your own lawyer, or get the name of a lawyer from your local bar association or other referral service. There are also groups that will give you free legal services if you qualify.
