Appoint an authorized representative for your appeal

You can choose to have someone you trust (like a family member, friend, advocate, or attorney) act on your behalf for your appeal by giving them permission to be your 
authorized representative
.
If you appoint an authorized representative, they'll be the main contact during your appeal. All communications about your appeal will go to your authorized representative, not you. They’re responsible for:
  • Providing information and documents
  • Returning phone calls, attending conferences, and any other actions for your appeal
  • Telling the Marketplace Appeals Center what you want to do once you have appeal results, like what plan you want to enroll in
Notice:
To appoint a representative for your appeal, you’ll need to send a form or letter to the Marketplace Appeals Center — even if you already appointed an authorized representative for your Marketplace application.

How to appoint a representative

You can appoint an authorized representative as part of your appeal request.
If you already filed your appeal, you can still appoint a representative. You can:
  • Download and fill out a form.
  • Call the Marketplace appeals Center at 1-855-231-1751 to ask us to mail you the form.
  • Write a letter. It must include:
    • Your name, address, and phone number
    • Your appeal number (if you have one)
    • A statement appointing someone as your representative
    • The name, address, and phone number of your representative
    • A statement allowing the Marketplace Appeals Center to discuss your appeal with your representative
    • Your signature and the date you signed the request
Then mail or fax your completed form or letter to:
  • Mail: Authorized Representative Request
    Marketplace Appeals Center
    P.O. Box 311
    Pittston, PA 18640
  • Secure fax: 1-877-369-0129
Notice:
If you decide you no longer want your authorized representative to help with your appeal, contact the Marketplace Appeals Center.
