ACA, PEACHCARE FOR KIDS, MEDICAID & PLANNING FOR HEALTHY BABIES (P4HB) APPLICATION ASSISTANCE
We provide free assistance with finding affordable health insurance through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Health Insurance Marketplace, Medicaid/PeachCare for Kids™, Planning for Healthy Babies (P4HB), or Medicare programs.
Affordable Care Act (ACA)
The "Affordable Care Act" (ACA) is the name of the
comprehensive healthcare reform law and its amendments that addresses health
insurance coverage, healthcare costs, and preventive care. Many individuals and
families in Georgia who did not previously have access to insurance coverage
may now qualify for coverage at a low cost or no cost. As a Certified
Application Assistors site for the ACA, our certified application counselors
and ACA licensed navigators help you navigate through the ACA Marketplace to
find a plan that works for your family and apply for coverage.
Medicaid/PeachCare for Kids ™
We assist you in submitting your child's application for Medicaid
or Georgia's low-cost health insurance program for working families, PeachCare
for Kids ™. This program helps ensure that your children, up to age 19, receive
healthcare through access to affordable health insurance. Once your child is
enrolled, he/she can receive preventive services like immunizations and well-child
checks, dental care, vision care, prescriptions, behavioral health, as well as
specialty care. Peachcare for Kids™ also covers
emergency room visits and hospitalization.
Medicaid for pregnant women pays for medical care including
labor and delivery, for up to six months after giving birth. If you qualify, you
can be entitled to a full range of Medicaid covered services, including
physicians' visits, prescriptions, along with inpatient and outpatient hospital
services. Once our OB/GYN provider confirms you are pregnant, our team can provide
you with a Medicaid application to complete while on-site. We can scan your
application to the Medicaid office on your behalf, and help you understand the
next steps in the process.

planning services to eligible Georgia women ages 18-44 who can become pregnant.
