  • Northside Hospital 98 locations

Exchange plans listed: Ambetter, Oscar, CareSource, Anthem Pathway and UnitedHealthcare. Original Medicare is not named on the list.

Frequently asked questions

How do I confirm an OB/GYN in Cherokee County is in network with my plan?

Call the office with the exact name of your plan and your member ID, and ask whether the specific clinician you want to see participates. Then check the insurer's online provider directory or call the member services number on your card. One insurer can sell employer, marketplace, Medicaid and Medicare Advantage plans in Georgia, each with its own network, and health system lists often exclude some narrow-network products, so the company name alone is not enough.

How does Georgia Medicaid managed care work?

Many Georgia Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids members get their care through a care management organization (CMO) in the Georgia Families program. The Georgia Medicaid website lists three CMOs: Amerigroup Community Care, CareSource and Peach State Health Plan. Each CMO has its own provider network, so an OB/GYN who takes one may not take another. Use an OB/GYN in your CMO's network, and confirm with the office or the member services number on your card.

What is Georgia Access?

Georgia Access is Georgia's state-based health insurance marketplace for individual and family plans. It replaced HealthCare.gov for Georgians and became the official marketplace on November 1, 2024, starting with 2025 coverage. Marketplace plans often have narrower networks than the same company's employer plans, so give the office the exact plan or network name on your card.

Do I need a referral to see an OB/GYN in Georgia?

Usually not for routine women's health care. Under federal rules, most health plans that ask you to choose a primary care provider cannot require a referral or prior approval to see an in-network OB/GYN. Other specialists, tests or procedures may still need a referral or prior authorization, and some coverage, such as TRICARE Prime, has its own referral rules. Check your plan documents.

Am I protected from surprise medical bills in Georgia?

Often, yes. Georgia's Surprise Billing Consumer Protection Act, in effect since January 1, 2021, and the federal No Surprises Act protect patients from many surprise out-of-network bills, such as most emergency care and care from an out-of-network provider at an in-network hospital or surgery center. In those cases you usually owe only your in-network cost-sharing. Which law applies depends on your plan, so ask your insurer about any unexpected bill.

Why is a practice I know not listed?

This directory lists a practice under a plan only when a published source shows it participates. Many practices accept plans we could not verify. If you are a practice, claim your free listing to add your plans.
