What is the Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP)?

Understanding Georgia's specialized program for children with complex medical needs

The Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP) is a Medicaid waiver program designed to provide comprehensive home and community-based services for children 0 - 21 years of age with complex medical needs who would otherwise require institutional care.

GAPP allows eligible children to receive necessary medical care and support services in the comfort of their own homes, promoting family unity while ensuring access to specialized healthcare services.

Key Benefits of GAPP

  • Allows children to remain at home with family
  • Provides access to specialized medical care
