Wellness/Professional Health Program Information
The Georgia Professional Health Program, Inc. (Georgia PHP) is the selected and contracted
provider of the Georgia Composite Medical Board and the Georgia State Board of Veterinary
Medicine to provide referral to evaluation or treatment and monitoring services to licensees who
develop substance use disorders and other mental health conditions. The Georgia PHP is not a
treatment provider but interacts with assessors of its participants, coordinates this care with the
healthcare entities that employ those individuals and monitors disease status in its participants.
The primary goal of the PHP is to ensure that the professionals who return to the practice of
medicine do so only if they can practice with reasonable skill and safety. The Georgia PHP also
offers helpful wellness resources and provides education to hospitals and other healthcare
organizations.
Funding for the Georgia PHP comes from participant fees as mandated by state law and accepts
donations for additional services. The Georgia PHP, Inc. is a member in good standing with the
Federation of State Physician Health Programs and adheres to the established guidelines of the
organization.
