The Medicaid agency will submit documents related to the eligibility decision to OAH prior to the state fair hearing. You may also submit documents to OAH prior to the state fair hearing. OAH will schedule a state fair hearing about your eligibility decision within one or two months of the date of your state fair hearing request. OAH must reach its decision usually within 30 calendar days of the state fair hearing date.
If you ask for an expedited (fast) state fair hearing due to an urgent medical need, you must submit medical documents at the same time that you ask for a fast state fair hearing. The Medicaid Agency will review medical documents and approve or deny your request. If approved, the hearing will be scheduled as soon as possible. If denied, your hearing request will be processed in the usual amount of time.
