If a primary care or specialty provider is, for any reason, unable to provide services when and as needed, the provider shall secure the services of a qualified covering provider, within the same specialty, who shall render the services required. However, Peoples Health retains the right, in its reasonable discretion, to approve or disapprove any covering physician so furnished. The covering physician must submit a Covering Physician Only Agreement. Please reference the Covering Physician section of the provider contract for additional requirements and expectations.
