If your Medicaid services are denied, reduced, delayed, or terminated, you have the right to request a fair hearing. You also have the right to submit evidence, ask for more time to prepare, and have witnesses who can support your case. These free webinars from Disability Rights Florida explain how the system works — and how you can stand up for your rights.
