The Health Service Executive (HSE) has responsibility for administering the health repayment scheme in conjunction with the appointed scheme administrator KPMG McCann Fitzgerald.

The Scheme Administrator provides in respect of each individual rejection an explanation as to the reason why a claim is being rejected. The Health (Repayment Scheme) Act 2006 provides the framework for lodging appeals under the health repayment scheme. A person who wishes to appeal the decision of the scheme administrator to reject a claim must do so in writing within the statutory 28 day period for appeal following receipt of the decision under the scheme.
