Medicaid is a program that provides health care services to individuals that meet the requirements for income, resources and citizenship. Individuals may apply for Medicaid at any local DFCS office, by mail, telephone, fax, e-mail, or at designated agencies.

As the largest division in the Georgia Department of Community Health, the Medical Assistance Plans Division administers the Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids programs which provides health care for children, pregnant women, and people who are aging, blind and/or disabled.
