GA DEPARTMENT of COMMUNITY HEALTH
The Georgia Department of Community Health is one of Georgia’s four health agencies and serves as the lead agency for Medicaid. A goal of the DCH is to provide access to affordable, quality health care to Georgians, including some of the state’s most vulnerable and underserved populations.
Specifically, the Home and Community Based Services page outlines the Medicaid and waiver programs geared towards helping those with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. Found on the site is the "Home and Community Services Guide (HCBS GUIDE pdf)" that contains an overview of MEDICAID, KATIE BECKETT, and waiver programs like: NOW, COMP and GAPP.
