GAPP

What is GAPP?

The Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP) is a Medicaid program offering skilled nursing and personal care services to medically fragile children under the age of 21, all at no cost to families. These services are provided right at home, ensuring that children receive the care they need in a familiar and safe environment. Families eligible for Medicaid can apply for GAPP, and approval is based on the specific medical needs of the child.

Could Your Child Be Eligible for GAPP Services?

If your child is under the age of 21 and requires help with everyday tasks like feeding, bathing, or incontinence care, and they already have Medicaid, they may qualify for GAPP services at no cost to you. This program ensures your child can receive professional care from the comfort of home.

No Waitlist for GAPP Services

Unlike other programs, GAPP does not require a waiver, meaning your child can begin receiving care as soon as approval is granted. The intake and evaluation process usually takes around 30 days.

Parents are closely involved in creating their child’s personalized care plan, ensuring that the services provided align with their child’s needs and goals.
