You have opted to allow discounts on non-covered services by voluntarily accepting the opt-in provision. Fee schedule amounts will apply to all non-covered services for covered individuals.

You may only see patients covered by these programs once you have obtained your Medicare and/or Medicaid identification number. Georgia providers who elect to participate in a Medicaid Managed Care program must be credentialed by this state prior to seeing patients. Guardian does not perform the credentialing for Georgia Medicaid programs. Upon completion of the system setup, you will receive your Provider Identification Number (PIN) and instructions to file claims for services rendered on or after your effective date is received for those plans.

Guardian’s digital assistant, Hugo, can provide instant access to this information. Simply enter the patient's name, member ID, or claim number — you can even look up multiple claims at once! You can search by date, month, or multiple dates and see the patient’s entire claims history. Hugo can be accessed on Guardian Anytime so be sure to register.

When you need to refer your patient to specialist, try to select an in-network provider. This way, your patient can receive more savings on important care and may be more satisfied with you as a provider.
