Medicaid-funded skilled nursing and personal care for children with significant medical needs — delivered at home by certified caregivers.
The Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP) is a Medicaid waiver program designed to provide in-home skilled nursing and personal care services to children with complex medical needs. EMIC Home Care is a certified GAPP provider.
GAPP is available to Georgia Medicaid-eligible children who require a level of care typically provided in a hospital or skilled nursing facility. With GAPP, your child can receive that same level of skilled care — at home.
GAPP services are covered by Georgia Medicaid at no cost to qualifying families. EMIC handles all billing directly with Medicaid.
All GAPP care is supervised by a registered nurse who creates, monitors, and adjusts each child's personalized care plan.
GAPP services are ordered and overseen by the child's primary care physician or specialist as part of an integrated care team.
Children receive hospital-level skilled care in the comfort and safety of their home, reducing hospitalizations and improving outcomes.
Eligibility is determined by Georgia Medicaid based on medical necessity. Generally, children who are Medicaid-eligible and require skilled nursing services qualify. Our team will help you navigate the eligibility process.
EMIC Home Care guides families through the entire GAPP enrollment process — from verifying eligibility to obtaining physician orders to beginning care. You don't have to navigate this alone.
