State Fair Hearing for Appeals

If you disagree with Sunflower’s appeal decision, you can ask for a State Fair Hearing. Request this within 120 days of the date on the appeal notice. Three extra calendar days will be allowed for mailing time.

If you had an external review, you must request the State Fair Hearing within 30 calendar days from the date on the EITPR notice. Three extra days are allowed for mailing.

You or your representative, who can be an attorney, family member, friend, provider or other authorized person, can ask the Kansas Office of Administrative Hearings to review Sunflower’s appeal decision.

A State Fair Hearing includes people from Sunflower, KDHE or other state agencies, as well as you and your representative, or the representative of a deceased member’s estate.
