Georgia PHP

The Georgia Professional Health Program, Inc. (Georgia PHP) is the selected and contracted provider for the Georgia Composite Medical Board and the Georgia State Board of Veterinary Medicine. Georgia PHP provides referrals for evaluation or treatment and monitoring services for licensees who develop substance use disorders or other mental health conditions.

Georgia PHP is not a treatment provider. It works with professionals who assess program participants, coordinates care with the healthcare entities that employ those individuals, and monitors participants’ health and recovery status.

The primary goal of Georgia PHP is to help ensure that professionals returning to practice can do so with reasonable skill and safety. Georgia PHP also offers wellness resources and provides education to hospitals and other healthcare organizations.

Funding and Professional Affiliation

Funding for Georgia PHP comes from participant fees, as mandated by state law. Georgia PHP also accepts donations to support additional services.

Georgia PHP is a member in good standing of the Federation of State Physician Health Programs and adheres to the organization’s established guidelines.
