A provider or supplier may not have the right to appeal in some situations , so they may ask you to transfer your appeal rights to them. This allows them to appeal on their own to Medicare. 2. What are my appeal rights? You have the right to appeal if Medicare decides that they will not pay f or an item or service. Your appeal rights are your rights to ask Medicare to reconsider thei r decision to not pay for the item or service. 3. What does it mean to transfer my appeal rights? You have the right to transfer your appeal rights to your health care pro vider or supplier for an item or service. If Medicare decides not to pay for the item or service, your provider or supplier will be allowed to appeal the decision. You will not be able to appeal the decision; your provider must do it for you. 4. Who can I transfer my appeal rights to? You may transfer your appeal rights only to the individual who provided t he item or service that you listed in Section I of this form. 5. What financial risks do I take when I transfer my appeal rights? If a provider or supplier accepts your appeals rights, they cannot bill you for the item or service, unless you cancel the transfer or you already signed an Advance Beneficiary Notice. Whether or not you choose to transfer your appeal rights, you will be responsible for paying the appr opriate deductible or coinsurance amounts. 6. Am I transferring my appeal rights for all of my claims? No, you are only transferring your appeal rights for the item or service that you listed in Section I of this form. 7. How long does the transfer last? This transfer is permanent, unless you decide to cancel it. However, if you cancel the transfer, you may be responsible for payment if Medicare decides that they will not pa y for the item or service. 8. How can I cancel the transfer?
