What is GAPP?
Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP) is a Medicaid/Katie Beckett Waiver program that provides FREE or AT NO COST services to medically fragile children, under the age of 21, in need of skilled nursing care and personal care support in their homes and in the community. Services are approved based on the child’s medical needs, and families who are eligible for Medicaid can apply for GAPP at any time.
Can I Apply If I Do Not Meet The Medicaid Income Requirement?
Yes. The Katie Beckett Waiver, or Deeming Waiver, is an eligibility Medicaid category for children under the age of 18. The Katie Beckett Waiver takes parents’ income out of the picture and bases the decision on the child’s needs. If the child qualifies for the Katie Beckett Waiver, they become eligible for services available under the regular state Medicaid plan.
