Katie Beckett
The Katie Beckett Medicaid Insurance program provides secondary medical and therapeutic insurance coverage for families.
Offered by the state of Georgia, it helps families afford necessary therapies and medical care that might otherwise be unaffordable due to high co-pays and deductibles. Unlike many other programs, Katie Beckett is not based on family income, making it accessible to families who wouldn’t typically qualify for social security or low-income Medicaid.
Our team completes the entire process for you from collection of documentation, completing of the application, and turning in the application to the appropriate personnel at the Katie Beckett office.
CHIPRA/HIPP
The Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act (CHIPRA) and Health Insurance Premium Payment (HIPP) programs are insurance premium reimbursement programs offered by the Georgia Medicaid department.
These programs help families receive reimbursement for premiums paid by an employee for health insurance provided through an employer and is available to any family, regardless of income level, who has a private insurance plan. This program is not appropriate for families who have Medicaid insurance or a Marketplace plan.
Our team work with your family to complete the application for you from start to finish. This service is offered at a flat rate of $75.

The Family Support program is a Medicaid initiative that does not require families to meet low-income criteria.
Available to families with children aged three and older, it provides up to $3,000 per year for services such as caregivers, respite care, camps, recreational activities, and therapies not covered by private insurance or Medicaid.
There are multiple agencies in Georgia offering this support, each assigned to specific counties.

To be eligible, individuals must be considered low-income (based solely on their own income), receive social security income and straight Medicaid insurance, and have a full-scale IQ score of 70 or below.
This waiver provides funding to help families cover the cost of essential services such as day programs, community access with a 1:1 facilitator, overnight or hourly respite care, personalized 1:1 support in the home, transportation costs, and other services that are typically not covered by private medical insurance or standard Medicaid insurance.
