When a child is sick, parents not only think about the health of their child but also about the amount of money they should prepare to make ends meet while paying for medication, doctor’s visits, and other hospital bills. The Katie Beckett Waiver became the solution to this. It is a program financially assisting children who have disabilities and medically complex conditions under 19 years of age.
Children who are not eligible for Medicaid due to their parent’s income and assets resort to Katie Beckett Waiver. Currently, this program is active in 24 states in the US, including Georgia. It became valuable to them because not only does Katie Beckett Waiver pay the costs that their private insurance cannot cover but, it also allows them to experience private in-home nursing in Georgia.
In CUSTOM LIVING CARE, we offer Georgia Pediatric Program in Atlanta, Georgia, a Katie Beckett program for children under 21 years old.
To apply for this Medicaid program, you can visit our social workers or reach them through our website. They will guide you as you go through the application process. You need to prepare documents such as proof of citizenship, identity, and your child’s resources, information about current health, and dental insurance coverage.
If you have successfully applied, you will be eligible for home health care services like doctor’s visits, hospitalizations, x-rays, laboratory tests, prescription drugs, and medical equipment and supplies, among others, for free. However, you have to reapply every year to renew your certification.
