Common Questions

Frequently asked about this service.

What is the Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP) and how do I know if my child qualifies?

GAPP is a Georgia Medicaid waiver program that funds in-home skilled nursing and support services for children and young adults with complex medical needs who would otherwise require institutional care. Eligibility is based on medical complexity, age, and Medicaid enrollment. Core Health Group can conduct a free eligibility screening to determine if your child qualifies before any services begin.

Does GAPP cover ventilator management at home?

Yes. For medically eligible children who require ventilator support or tracheostomy management, GAPP can fund skilled nursing hours at home to manage these needs safely. Our licensed nurses are trained in pediatric ventilator management and work directly with the child's pulmonologist and care team to ensure safe, continuous care at home.

How do I start the GAPP process with Core Health Group?

The process begins with a free intake inquiry — you can submit online or call (678) 536-6668. Our intake team will review your child's medical history, verify GAPP eligibility with Georgia Medicaid, coordinate with your child's physicians for the required physician orders, and handle all enrollment paperwork. Most families are surprised by how straightforward the process is with our guidance.
