Fifth Level of Appeal: Judicial Review in Federal District Court

If $1,220 or more is still in controversy following the Medicare Appeals Council's decision, judicial review before a Federal District Court judge may be requested. The appellant must request a Federal District Court hearing within 60 days of receipt of the Medicare Appeals Council's decision.  

Filing a Request for Judicial Review

The Medicare Appeals Council's decision will contain information about the procedures for requesting judicial review.

Please note that the amount in controversy required to request a judicial review is increased annually by the percentage increase in the medical care component of the consumer price index for all urban consumers.
