How to file a grievance or appeal
If you have a grievance or appeal related to your Florida Medicaid plan or any aspect of your care, we want to hear about it and see how we can help.
Grievance and appeals
Tell us how we can help with any issues you might have with your Florida Medicaid plan.
Appeal vs. Grievance
If you do not agree with a decision that your plan has made about your benefits, you can request an appeal. An appeal is a request for Humana to reconsider its decision. You must file an appeal within 60 days of the decision. Appeals may take up to 30 days to process.
A grievance is a formal complaint or dispute expressing dissatisfaction with any aspect of the operations, activities or behavior of Humana or its providers. It does not involve decisions by Humana that are subject to an appeal, as outlined above. Grievances may take up to 90 days to process.
If you need an expedited appeal or grievance process, contact Humana Medical Plan Customer Care.
Filing a grievance or appeal
You will need to submit a grievance or appeal form to tell us what happened. Please provide as much information as you can so we can help resolve your issue.

Filing on behalf of another member
If you are filing an appeal or grievance on behalf of a member, you need an Appointment of Representative (AOR) form on file with Humana so that you are authorized to work with Humana on the member’s behalf.
You may also use other appropriate legal documentation that shows your authorized representative status (such as power of attorney)
AOR forms are active for one year from the date the form is signed by both the member and the representative, unless revoked.
Download, print and complete the AOR form, found on the Document and Forms page. This form requires a handwritten signature.
