Authorized Representative

If you need someone to file a grievance, coverage determination, organization determination, or appeal on your behalf, you can name a relative, friend, advocate, doctor, or anyone else as your appointed representative. If you want someone to act for you, then you and that person must sign and date a statement that gives the person legal permission to act as your appointed representative.

If you are requesting an organizational determination through an appointed representative, you should download the CMS-1696 Appointment of Representative Form (PDF), complete it and mail it to:
