California law requires that we include the following statements:

The California Department of Managed Health Care is responsible for regulating health care service plans. If you have a grievance against your health plan, you should first telephone your health plan; in the U.S., call (855) 633-4392. In Baja California, México, call (664) 633-8555, and use your health plan's grievance process before contacting the department. Utilizing this grievance procedure does not prohibit any potential legal rights or remedies that may be available to you. If you need help with a grievance involving an emergency, a grievance that has not been satisfactorily resolved by your health plan, or a grievance that has remained unresolved for more than 30 days, you may call the department for assistance. You may also be eligible for an Independent Medical Review (IMR). If you are eligible for an IMR, the IMR process will provide an impartial review of medical decisions made by a health plan related to the medical necessity of a proposed service or treatment, coverage decisions for treatments that are experimental or investigational in nature and payment disputes for emergency or urgent medical services. The department also has a toll-free telephone number (1-888-466-2219) and a TDD line (1-877-688-9891) for the hearing and speech impaired. The department's internet website www.dmhc.ca.gov has complaint forms, IMR application forms and instructions online.

Please note that grievances involving rescissions, cancellations and nonrenewal grievances are treated as expedited grievances and the enrollee does not need to submit a grievance first to the health plan. If you believe your health coverage has been, or will be improperly cancelled, rescinded, or not renewed, you may also call the Department of Managed Healthcare for assistance.
