You Just Want Your Child Cared For : Not a Maze of Paperwork
Leaving the hospital with a medically fragile child is already overwhelming. Between monitoring vitals, managing medication schedules, and adjusting to a new diagnosis, the last thing any parent should have to decipher is a tangle of state Medicaid forms, physician orders, and bureaucratic appeals.
At Xclusive Care Services, our clinical intake coordinators lift that entire administrative weight off your shoulders. We handle every detail of Georgia's Pediatric Program (GAPP) eligibility, coordinate directly with your pediatric specialists, and secure your fully funded in-home nursing hours : so you can focus entirely on being Mom and Dad.
What Is the GAPP Waiver?
The Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP) is a specialized Medicaid program designed to provide continuous in-home skilled nursing and personal care support for medically fragile children under 21 years of age.
Funded directly through Georgia Medicaid, GAPP enables eligible families to receive professional one-on-one nursing from licensed RNs and LPNs in the comfort and safety of their own home—at 100% covered cost with zero out-of-pocket expenses.
GAPP Eligibility Criteria
Your child may qualify for 100% funded in-home nursing if they meet the following baseline requirements:
- Under 21 years of age and residing in Georgia
- Diagnosed with a medically fragile or complex health condition
- Currently enrolled in or eligible for Georgia Medicaid (or Katie Beckett waiver)
- Requires skilled nursing interventions or specialized hospital-level care at home
- Physician order confirming the clinical necessity for in-home nursing support
Official Notice: Final clinical eligibility and approved weekly nursing hours are determined directly by the Georgia Department of Community Health (Medicaid). Xclusive Care Services provides free application assistance at no cost to families.

Care Built Around Your Family
“When we established Xclusive Care Services, our mandate was clear: medically fragile children and their families deserve clinical excellence grounded in real empathy. Having spent years in pediatric nursing, I saw how traditional healthcare systems often treat complex pediatric cases like case numbers, leaving parents overwhelmed and isolated.”
We bridge that gap by placing skilled, compassionate pediatric RNs and LPNs in your home. As a nurse-led organization, our leadership remains directly involved in every care plan: answering your questions, advocating for your GAPP coverage, and treating your child with the dignity and devotion they deserve.
Frequently Asked Questions
Navigating state pediatric waivers and skilled home nursing can feel complex. We handle authorizations and clinical matching so your family pays zero out-of-pocket costs.
How does GAPP differ from standard private duty nursing?
The Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP) is a 100% state-funded Medicaid waiver that covers skilled in-home nursing (RN/LPN) and personal care for medically fragile children under 21. Unlike private duty nursing that requires private insurance copays or heavy out-of-pocket costs, approved GAPP services are completely cost-free to qualifying families with zero co-pays or deductibles.
What is the typical state approval timeline for GAPP services?
The initial state determination and approval process typically takes between 30 and 45 business days once medical documentation is submitted. Our clinical coordinators expedite this timeline by managing all physician orders, plan of care (485) submissions, and prior authorizations on your family's behalf.
Is Georgia Medicaid required for our child to qualify for covered care?
Yes, GAPP is funded through Georgia Medicaid. However, if your household income exceeds standard Medicaid thresholds, your child can still qualify independently through the Katie Beckett Deeming Waiver based solely on clinical medical necessity. We guide families through this dual-qualification process seamlessly.
Which counties and regions across Georgia does Xclusive Care Services cover?
Xclusive Care Services provides continuous, skilled pediatric care across the Greater Atlanta metropolitan region and surrounding North/Central Georgia counties. We actively match licensed pediatric RNs and LPNs based on your child's specific medical requirements and location.
