Insurance

Hemophilia of Georgia recognizes how the high cost of treating bleeding disorders can impact a family financially. Our staff is here to help patients/clients with insurance and billing issues. In addition, we help them understand and manage their insurance benefits.

We have a dedicated payer relations department that negotiates contracts with insurance companies and continually seeks to expand network access. Hemophilia of Georgia works with over 90% of health insurance providers in order to ensure optimal access for our patients/clients.

Hemophilia of Georgia (HoG) is an in-network provider for most commercial and Marketplace plans as well as all three Georgia CMO’s and Medicare. Our subsidiary, Beacon Pharmacy, also serves as a provider for people who are enrolled in traditional Medicaid fee for service. Patients and clients who wish to use the HoG Pharmacy but do not see HoG on their plan or need help in obtaining insurance, should contact their social worker to discuss options that may be available and next steps.
