Raising a medically fragile child in Georgia comes with challenges, uncertainties, and moments when you just wish you had more help. But here’s the truth many families don’t hear soon enough: you may qualify for life-changing, in-home medical support—at no cost to you.

This guide breaks down the essential programs Georgia families rely on: Medicaid, the Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP), and Private Home Health services—plus how Mudaris Healthcare can walk you through every step.

🩺 What Is Georgia Medicaid?

Medicaid is a state and federally funded program providing health coverage to eligible low-income children, seniors, and people with disabilities. In Georgia, it can cover children with complex medical needs regardless of family income—through a waiver called Katie Beckett.

If your child has a diagnosis or health condition that requires nursing care, therapy, or medical supervision, Medicaid may cover:

  • Doctor visits and specialists

  • Therapies (PT, OT, ST)

  • Medical supplies and equipment

  • Private duty nursing via GAPP


🧠 What Is GAPP?

GAPP (Georgia Pediatric Program) is a Medicaid-funded initiative offering in-home nursing care and personal support for children under 21 with medical complexity. It helps families who:

  • Have a child needing skilled nursing (trach, feeding tube, seizures, etc.)

  • Are burned out trying to manage complex care 24/7

  • Want to avoid hospital readmissions and maintain stability at home

If your child qualifies, GAPP provides care that comes to you—skilled, trained nurses right in your home.


🏡 Why Private Home Health Care Changes Lives

Imagine a world where your child receives:

  • Consistent, compassionate nursing from trained professionals

  • Care from the comfort of home (not another hospital or facility)

  • Improved safety, fewer infections, and better emotional health

  • Support for the whole family, reducing burnout and stress

That’s the power of private home healthcare. And when it's done right—with the right team—it’s not just help… it’s healing.
