About GAPP

The Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP) is designed to assist eligible children from birth up to the age of 21 who are considered medically fragile.

Importantly, all services provided under this program fully covered by Medicaid, ensuring that families receive the vital care their children need without financial burden.
