Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP)
How GAPP works
GAPP is a Georgia Medicaid program. It pays for skilled nursing at home for children under 21 who qualify.
Call us
Talk to an owner. We’ll ask about your child and tell you plainly whether GAPP looks like a fit.
We build the request
We work with your child’s doctor to gather orders and records for a complete request.
Medicaid reviews
Georgia Medicaid decides if nursing is approved and how many hours. We tell you as soon as we hear.
Nursing starts
We match a nurse to your child, and an owner comes to the first visit.
What we can’t promise. We can’t control whether GAPP is approved or how many hours are approved. We can make sure the request is complete, and we’ll help you appeal if you want to.

Waiting on a GAPP decision, denied, over 21, or need more hours than Medicaid approved? You can hire us directly. Respite, personal care, LPN and RN nursing, priced by the hour. Founding families get 15% off their first month.

Straight answers
Questions parents ask us first
Do we really pay nothing?
If your child qualifies for GAPP, Georgia Medicaid pays for our nursing. You pay nothing out of pocket for it.
How many hours will we get?
Georgia Medicaid decides that, not us. We’ll help you ask for what your child’s doctor orders.
Who do I call at night?
A member of our leadership team. One number, (404) 641-8603, reaches us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
What if our nurse can’t make a shift?
We’ll tell you as soon as we know, and we’ll tell you what we’re doing to fill it.
