Medicaid Complaints: How to File Complaints to Medicaid



If you are under the Medicaid coverage, you know for a fact that this will be able to provide you with a lot of benefits when it comes to getting quality health care. Basically, Medicaid is designed for low income individuals and families. With this, you will be able to get covered without spending a lot of money on health care.

However, you have to consider the fact that Medicaid is not a perfect system. So, if you have any complaints regarding Medicaid and its coverage, you will need to know how to file a complaint in order for the necessary people take action in regards to your complaint.

The first thing you need to do is you must first contact your local transportation provider. You can contact them through the phone or through writing. It is important that the complaint should be recorded.

After the local transportation provider gets your complaint, it will be investigated and they will inform you of their findings as well as the actions they took in order to resolve your complaint. However, if you are not satisfied by it, you may want to request filing a formal grievance or complaint with the local coordinating board.

Basically, this is the way to file complaints about Medicaid. With it, you will be able to protect your rights as a person and also as an individual covered by Medicaid. Always remember that you have every right to complain with Medicaid in case you are not satisfied or didn’t get the treatment you need.

    I am not sure who to report to but I have a complaint. I am a school nurse and have a student whom had two inhalers prescribed, one for home and one for school use. Mom was reluctant to leave one at school b/c stated student only had one inhaler however pharmacy had informed me two were rx’d and picked up. Student himself mentioned he got two but mom gave one to his boyfriend b/c “he too is sick from his lungs”. Mom’s boyfriend is a young 20+ healthly appearing man and I believe is not fair this to be happening. Mom told me in front of two other staff members she had only picked up one inhaler (& that was why she could not leave inhaler at school; needed to pick up the other one) when in reality pharmacy told me she picked up both inhalers on same day.
