(Effective January 1, 2025)
How can an entity or organization appeal a decision of the health care authority to deny an employer group application?
(1) An entity or organization whose employer group application to participate in school employees benefits board (SEBB) insurance coverage is denied by the authority may appeal the decision by submitting a request for a brief adjudicative proceeding to the SEBB appeals unit.
(2) The SEBB appeals unit must receive the request for a brief adjudicative proceeding no later than 30 days after the date of the denial notice. The contents of the request for a brief adjudicative proceeding are to be provided as described in WAC
182-32-2070.
(3) The SEBB appeals unit must notify the appellant in writing when the request for a brief adjudicative proceeding has been received.
(4) The brief adjudicative proceeding will be conducted by a presiding officer designated by the director.
(5) Failing to timely request a brief adjudicative proceeding will result in the prior SEBB program decision becoming the authority's final order without further action.
