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 you 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 Complaint or Grievance can be filed if or when:

  • An enrollee 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.

You or your 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 an enrollee.

To file a Complaint or Grievance, or If you need help filing the Complaint or Grievance, Peach State Health Plan can help you:

Call Member Services at 1-800-704-1484, TTY/TDD 1-800-255-0056. They can also help you if you need this information translated. Or write us a letter telling us why you are not happy. Be sure to include:

  • Your first and last names.
  • Your Peach State ID card number.
  • Your address and telephone number.

Mail the letter to:
