Georgia Pediatrics Program (GAPP)
At Vidma care mission, we believe it is important to support a person’s desire to live comfortably and safely in their own home.
The Georgia Pediatrics Program (GAPP) is a statewide program that provides primary care services to eligible children in Georgia. The program is designed to improve the health and well-being of children by providing comprehensive medical care and other health-related services. GAPP is administered by the Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH) and is funded by the state of Georgia and the federal government. GAPP provides services to children from birth to age 21 who meet certain eligibility requirements, including being uninsured or underinsured, meeting income guidelines, or having certain medical conditions. At Vidma Care mission, the GAPP Services that we provide includes regular check-ups, immunizations, dental care, vision and hearing screenings, referrals to specialists as needed and many more. Overall, the goal of GAPP is to ensure that all children in Georgia have access to high-quality healthcare and the support they need to thrive.
The Katie Beckett Waiver
The Katie Beckett Waiver, also known as the “Deeming Waiver,” allows children under 18 years old to receive Medicaid benefits regardless of their parents’ income. Eligibility for the waiver is determined solely by the level of care the child requires in an institutional setting. If a child qualifies for the Katie Beckett Waiver, they can access all GAPP services that we provide.
Eligibility
To be eligible for GAPP, your child must meet certain requirements, such as being uninsured or underinsured, meeting income guidelines, or having certain medical conditions. Eligibility requirements may vary depending on the specific services needed, so we encourage families to contact us for more information.
GAPP operates through a network of healthcare providers like Vidma Care Mission, including pediatricians, family practitioners, and community health centers.
