Dear Peach State Provider:

Peach State Health Plan (Peach State) and the Georgia OB/GYN Association are working collaboratively in partnership to address the questions and concerns raised by the Association’s member OB/GYNs regarding Peach State’s proposed antepartum testing review program to be implemented by NIA. Our organizations will be meeting jointly on July 21st to discuss all outstanding issues. We are committed to working together to solve these issues in a mutually beneficial manner. As a first step, effective immediately, Peach State has agreed to no longer require “privileging” in order for Obstetricians to perform office based ultrasounds. All obstetricians who have already submitted an application will be automatically considered to have passed the privileging process. If you have not yet returned the application, you are not required to do so. Peach State and the Georgia OB/GYN society will work diligently to come to consensus on the details of the antepartum review program going forward, and we will update you when there are further details for distribution.

Thank you for your forbearance as we work through this process together.

Sincerely,

Peach State Health Plan
