Appeal Representation
Expert case management
If you are embarking on the Local Resolution process after an MDT or preparing for an Independent Review Panel following an unsuccessful local appeal for Continuing Healthcare, we can help you present your case effectively.
If you need help with a CHC Appeal, the first stage is our Appeal Advice Service. If we do recommend appeal, instructing us to represent you can maximise your chances of success.
Successful CHC appeals depend on presenting the right evidence, in the right way. Our specialist team can do the hard work for you and ensure the NHS has the information it needs to make the right decision.
Our experienced Case Managers can provide expert representation at both Local Resolution Meetings and Independent Review Panels, giving you invaluable support.
Our approach…
The main steps involved in our Appeal Representation Service:
- Obtaining evidence for the appeal period in the form of care and medical records
- Preparing a Detailed Medical Assessment using the records obtained. Sending this report to one of our Independent Nurse Assessors for analysis and clinical input
- Providing you with in-depth advice about the merits of the claim
- Subject to merits, lodging appeal with the NHS, preparing Written Submissions and dealing with all correspondence
- Preparing for and attending the Local Resolution Meeting and/or Independent Review Panel; providing expert representation
- Reviewing the outcome and offering our advice
