Overview

How to submit an appeal or complaint

Any appeal or complaint against HSA’s regulatory decision has to be submitted via email to us within the timeframe stated in HSA’s notice of rejection, suspension, or revocation.

In submitting an appeal or complaint, the appellant or complainant should address the deficiencies specified in HSA’s notice of rejection, suspension, or revocation.

HSA's review time for appeals and complaints will typically range between 60-90 working days* from the date of the filing of the appeal or complaint, or date of the submission of justification or data to address the deficiencies, whichever later. The review time will depend on the complexity of the matter. We will inform you if more time is required.
