We have a dedicated payer relations team 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.
