title: Due process in Medicare appeals: a primer.
abstract: This brief is the first of a two-part series on Medicare appeals. The first article discusses appeal rights generally--the importance of notice, grounded in the right to be heard, when someone's statutory rights are denied, reduced or terminated. Next month we will focus on the specifics of beneficiary appeal rights.
