A complaint is any oral or written expression of dissatisfaction by an enrollee submitted to the Dental Plan or to a state agency and resolved by close of business the following business day.
You can file a complaint using the Florida Medicaid Complaint form or call the Medicaid Helpline at 1-877-254-1055 (TDD 1-866-467-4970).
Once you file your complaint, you will get a tracking number to check the status of your complaint. If you have already submitted a complaint, you can check the status of complaint.
The complaints filed with the State agency are prioritized based on the urgency of the reported issue and not the order received.
For more information about the steps of filing a complaint with the Agency for Health Care Administration, please visit their webpage.
A grievance is an expression of dissatisfaction (other than an organization’s determination) with any aspect of a Medicaid health plan’s operations, activities, or behavior or its providers, regardless of whether remedial action is requested.
Grievances can be filed at any time. Grievances are reviewed within 30 days.
For more information about submitting a grievance, please consult your member handbook.

An appeal is a formal request from an enrollee to seek a review of an adverse benefit determination made by the Dental Plan. If you do not agree by the decision made by your Dental Plan about your services, you can ask for an appeal.
Appeals must be filed within 60 days of the plan’s decision about your services. You will receive a letter within 5 business days that tells you that your appeal has been received. Appeals are reviewed within 30 days. If you think waiting for 30 days will put your health in danger, you can ask for an Expedited or “Fast” Appeal. For fast appeals, the plan will provide you with an answer within 48 hours.
For more information about asking for an appeal, please consult your member handbook.
