Please note: Per CMS, expedited requests should ONLY be requested when the healthcare provider believes that waiting for a decision under the standard review time frame may seriously jeopardize the life or health of the patient or the patient’s ability to regain maximum function. Please be mindful of this definition when submitting your requests so that we can prioritize and process all requests appropriately.
