Scope:
The Consultant will review Jordan’s Principle requests that have been rejected by the Assistant Deputy Minister (ADM) and that are now being appealed to see whether the decision could be overturned after receiving new information and/or having a second and more independent level of review. An appeal could also be initiated once a claim for reimbursement or advance funding for actuals has been denied or partially denied by ISC.
Once the decision has been appealed, the Consultant will collaborate with the other Consultants on the appeal panel to review the appeal and, if possible, come to an agreement on the proper course of action to be taken in terms of providing funding for care or any other requested services. Where agreement is not possible among the Consultants reviewing the appeal, the majority view will prevail.
