Street Address
City/State/ZIP Code
On June 25, 1995, you asked us to lower the fee amount we said your lawyer can charge
for his work on your claim. You said that you had a good reason for not asking us
to review our decision within 15 days of the date of our letter. You said that you
were in the hospital until June 20, 1995.
Our Decision About The Late Request
-
We decided that you had a good reason for not asking for a review on time. So, we
will review our decision.
What Will Happen
-
Someone who did not decide the fee amount will review the decision and make a new
one. Based on that review, we will raise, lower, or not change the fee amount your
lawyer can charge.
Because Marvin Levy, Susy Smith, Joey Smith, and James Kelly (claims representative)
can comment on your request for administrative review, we are sending them a copy
of your letter. They also can provide more information to the person reviewing your
request.
If we need more information, we will contact you. We will send you and the other people
listed above a letter telling what we decide.
