In Georgia, Medicaid is run by the Georgia Department of Community Health (DCH). Medicaid’s managed care program is called Georgia Families®, and PeachCare for Kids® is another program serving uninsured children in Georgia. Children who are eligible for either of these — and are enrolled with a Care Management Organization — can see a Kaiser Permanente pediatrician. With Kaiser Permanente, your children have access to participating doctors at our medical offices throughout metro Atlanta and in Athens.
Medicaid with Kaiser Permanente in Georgia provides a core set of health benefits, including doctor visits, and immunizations. If your child is eligible for Medicaid, Kaiser Permanente covers health services like:
Doctor office visits
Your child can get care from a pediatrician or nurse.
Well child check-ups
Your child’s regular check-ups to stay healthy are covered.
Immunizations
Your child’s shots and vaccines are covered.
Laboratory services
Your child’s lab tests and radiology services are covered.
Urgent
& Advanced care
We offer extended hours and same-day appointments are usually available at our Urgent Care locations. For more serious urgent care needs, we also offer 24/7 Advanced Care Centers.
Please note: Some services may require preauthorization. All services must be provided by a Kaiser Permanente doctor or medical staff.
