Because navigating Medicaid shouldn’t be complicated when your child needs care

If you’re a parent in Georgia caring for a medically fragile child, you’ve probably heard about something called GAPP—but maybe no one has taken the time to really explain what it means or how it helps.

Let’s break it down—no red tape, no jargon, just real answers.

📘 What Does GAPP Stand For?

GAPP stands for the Georgia Pediatric Program.
It’s a Medicaid-funded program that provides in-home skilled nursing services to children under 21 who have complex medical needs.

If your child qualifies, you could get a private nurse to care for your child at home—at no cost to your family.

Yes, it’s real.
Yes, it works.
And yes, Mudaris Healthcare can help you qualify.


🏥 What Does GAPP Cover?

Depending on your child’s condition, GAPP may cover:

  • Skilled nursing care (LPN or RN) at home

  • Medical monitoring for complex diagnoses

  • G-tube, trach, or vent care

  • Medication administration and support

  • Assistance with personal care (feeding, bathing, dressing)

  • Help during school or therapy routines

  • Respite for parents and family caregivers


Who Qualifies for GAPP?

Your child may qualify if they:

  • Are under the age of 21

  • Live in Georgia
