Is GAPP the Same as Medicaid?
No. GAPP and Medicaid are not the same, but they work together to help eligible children receive medically necessary care at home.
GAPP (Georgia Pediatric Program) is a Medicaid-funded program in Georgia that provides in-home nursing and personal care services to eligible children and young adults with significant medical needs. Medicaid is the broader health insurance program that helps cover healthcare services for eligible individuals.
How Are GAPP and Medicaid Connected?
GAPP is part of Georgia’s Medicaid system. If a child qualifies for GAPP, Medicaid may cover approved in-home services based on the child’s medical needs and eligibility.
GAPP can help eligible families access services such as:
- Pediatric skilled nursing
- Personal care supportIn-home medical care
- Assistance with complex medical needs
- Care for medically fragile children
Who May Qualify for GAPP?
Eligibility depends on several factors, including the child’s age, Medicaid eligibility, medical condition, and documented need for skilled care. A physician’s order and supporting medical documentation may also be required.
