What should I expect after filing an appeal?
Merced County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services staff will investigate your appeal and respond to you in writing. You will receive two letters. The first letter will be a notice that we have received your appeal. The State Department of Health Care Services requires that this letter be sent to you within one working day of receipt. The second letter will be sent to you with the results of the investigation. The investigation of your appeal must be responded to within 45 days of receipt.
