WHAT IS A MEDICAL GRIEVANCE?

A grievance is a formal complaint that you file with your plan. If you are dissatisfied with your Medicare plan, you can choose to file a grievance.

Reasons you might want to file a grievance would be:

If your plan has poor customer service
You face administrative problems (such as the plan taking too long to file your appeal or failing to deliver a promised refund)
You believe the plan’s network of providers is inadequate

How to file a grievance:

Send a letter to your plan’s Grievance and Appeals department. Check your plan’s website or contact them by phone for the address.
You can also file a grievance with your plan over the phone, but it is best to send your complaints in writing.
Be sure to send your grievance to your plan within 60 days of the event that led to the grievance.
You may also want to send a copy of the grievance to your regional Medicare office and to your representatives in Congress, if you feel they should know about the problem. Go to www.medicare.gov or call 1-800-MEDICARE to find out the address of your regional Medicare office.
Keep a copy of any correspondence for your records.

Your plan must investigate your grievance and get back to you within 30 days. If your request is urgent, your plan must get back to you within 24 hours. If you have not heard back from your plan within this time, you can check the status of your grievance by calling your plan or

1-800-MEDICARE.

WHY COCONUT WATER?

Coconut water has higher levels of minerals such as iron, magnesium, manganese, calcium and zinc than many fruits, oranges. Also, coconut water has high amounts of B-vitamins, such as niacin, thiamin, riboflavin and pyridoxine.

Need Potassium? Coconut water is very high in potassium. As your body sweats during exercise or activity, your level of potassium drops. Coconut water has approximately 250 milligrams of potassium and 105 milligrams of sodium in every 100 milliliter serving.
