If you disagree with Superior’s internal health plan appeal decision, you also have the right to ask for an External Medical Review at the same time you request a State Fair Hearing. You cannot request an External Medical Review without also requesting a State Fair Hearing. An External Medical Review is an optional, extra step you can take to get the case reviewed for free by an Independent Review Organization before the State Fair Hearing through HHS. You may name someone to represent you by writing a letter to Superior telling us the name of the person you want to represent you. A provider may be your representative. You or your representative must ask for the External Medical Review within 120 days of the date Superior mails the letter with the internal appeal decision. If you do not ask for the External Medical Review within 120 days, you may lose your right to an External Medical Review. To ask for an External Medical Review, you or your representative.

  • Fill out the ‘State Fair Hearing and External Medical Review Request Form’ provided as an attachment to the Member Notice of Superior's Internal Appeal Decision letter and mail or fax it to Superior by using the address or fax number at the top of the form; or
  • Call Superior at 1-877-398-9461

For more information about External Medical Reviews, please visit the Complaints and Appeals webpage.

A State Fair Hearing is for Superior members who disagree with an appeal decision made by Superior to deny a service. A member must file for a State Fair Hearing within 120 days of the date of the Superior notice denying their appeal. It allows members to ask HHSC to review their case. If you are a STAR, STAR Health, STAR Kids or STAR+PLUS member and you want to file a state fair hearing, call 1-877-398-9461.
