What is GAPP?
GAPP Services
The Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP) is a Medicaid funded program that provides private duty nursing (skilled and unskilled) services for medically fragile children under the age of 21. These services are offered at no cost to families who quality through Medicaid. Alliance Pediatric Providers will help eligible families apply for GAPP and will assess whether parents or legal guardians are able to become paid caregivers for their own children who are 5 years old or older.
