Overview of GAPP

The Georgia Pediatric Program is a specialized Medicaid waiver program that caters to the medical needs of children under 21 requiring advanced nursing care and personal support. This assistance is available both at home and within the community. Eligibility for this support is based on the child’s health requirements, and Medicaid-enrolled families can submit applications anytime.

Recent Developments in GAPP

As of 2023, the GAPP has broadened its services to encompass behavioral support for individuals diagnosed with behavioral conditions. Following a legal decision in January 2024, it has been established that the provision allowing family members to deliver personal care support, initially a temporary measure, will continue as a lasting option.
