Appeal a DDD Notice of Adverse Benefit Determination

Before you start

  • Complete NOA and envelope, PCSP, assessment, authorization history, medical and functional evidence, service records, requested remedy, representative information, and immediate health or safety impact.

Who to contact

Use the official DDD, AHCCCS, Support Coordinator, qualified-provider, review, appeal, grievance, crisis, or protective-report route that owns this step.

Call Arizona DDD Customer Service: 1-844-770-9500

Step by step

  1. Read the complete NOA and identify the sender, action, reason, effective date, appeal route, and continuation instructions.
  2. File through the route in that notice and save proof; request expedited handling only when official criteria apply.
  3. Attend conferences and use the appeal resolution's instructions if a State Fair Hearing remains necessary.

Expected next

Acknowledgment, informal conference, information request, written appeal resolution, service-continuation result, or hearing instructions.

Save this proof

Complete notice and envelope, appeal, proof, evidence, conference records, resolution, and hearing material.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Contact the sender named in the notice and ask it to confirm receipt, service-continuation state, issue, and next event.
