PeachCare for Kids™
PeachCare for Kids™ is a comprehensive health care program for uninsured children living in Georgia. The health benefits include primary, preventive, specialist, dental care and vision care. PeachCare for Kids™ also covers hospitalization, emergency room services, prescription medications and mental health care. Each child in the program has a Georgia Healthy Families Care Management Organization (CMO) who is responsible for coordinating the child's care.
Conquering the challenges has led to recognition nationally...
- PeachCare for Kids™ exceeded its two year enrollment goal in its first year of operations. Georgia ranks fourth nationally in numbers of enrolled children. Only California, New York, Florida, and Texas have enrolled more children.
- The PeachCare for Kids™ program presented its plan at national conventions highlighting best practices in outreach and enrollment.
- PeachCare promotional materials received a Gold Award, the highest honor given by the National Health Information Awards.
Even more important than national attention, PeachCare for Kids™ has earned the trust and praise of Georgia's families:
- "When I received the PeachCare for Kids™ cards in the mail, it was like being handed the moon. Thanks so much." - Nancy from Clarkesville
- "I thank God every day for PeachCare for Kids™. Now I have peace of mind." - Rebecca in Pine Mountain
