Newborn Screening for Metabolic and Sickle Cell Disorders Program

Testing: Obtaining Test Results

The Georgia Public Health Laboratory will mail laboratory results to specimen submitters.

Authorized providers can access “unofficial” newborn screening results through the State Electronic Notification Surveillance System (SendSS). This web-based system enables registered providers to access screening test results 24 hours a day/7 days a week. To ensure confidentiality and security, a username and password that the provider chooses at registration is required to access the system. To register for SendSS, visit https://sendss.state.ga.us/sendss/login.screen.

Results are also available through a Voice Response System (VRS) for the Newborn Screening Program. This system enables enrolled submitters to access screening test results via a touch tone telephone 24 hours a day/7 days a week.

To ensure confidentiality and security, your State Medical License number or a submitter code number is required to access the system. In addition, as a second security check, the system will prompt you to enter a "personal identification number" (PIN) that will be chosen by you when you enroll. To enroll in the system, please fill out the Registration Form for the Voice Response System.

After filling out this form, mail to:

Newborn Screening Laboratory (VRS Enrollment)
Georgia Public Health Laboratory
1749 Clairmont Road
Decatur, GA 30033-4050

Once you are registered with the system, screening results for any child born in the State of Georgia can be accessed using the newborn screening form number. Call 404-321-2293 or 404-321-2294 or 404-321-2297 and follow the voice prompts to gain access and to obtain test results.

If you have questions, please call 404-327-7950.
