DCH will resume utilization reviews and onsite investigations beginning July 1, 2021.

On March 13, 2020, The Department of Community Health (DCH) suspended utilization reviews and onsite investigations to reduce administrative burden for providers of the Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids® Fee-For-Service programs during the COVID-19 public health state of emergency. Given Governor Brian P. Kemp’s Executive Order 06.22.21.01 that puts an end to Georgia’s declaration of a public health state of emergency regarding the spread of COVID-19, effective July 1, 2021, DCH will resume utilization reviews and onsite investigations beginning July 1, 2021.

We appreciate the care you have provided to Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids® members during the public health emergency. Thank you in advance for your cooperation as we resume normal operations.
