Filing a Grievance

You have the right to tell us if you’re not happy with your care. This is called a complaint or grievance. We hope our members will always be happy with us and our providers. But if you are not happy, please let us know. A complaint or grievance is an expression of dissatisfaction about any matter other than an Adverse Benefit Determination (Proposed Action/Denial):

A Member Complaint or Grievance can be filed if or when:

  • A Member is dissatisfied with a provider services or care
  • Provider and/or staff have behavior that is inappropriate or discourteous
  • Provider has limited availability to members
  • Your appeal was not processed timely

You have the right to file a Complaint or Grievance. We cannot treat you differently because you have filed a Complaint or Grievance. Your benefits will not be affected.

The member or the member’s authorized representative may file a Complaint or Grievance with Peach State either orally or in writing. A provider cannot file a complaint or grievance on behalf of a member without written consent from the member.
