Parents Can Be Paid to Care for Their Child

Georgia's Parent Paid Caregiver program allows you to be compensated for the care you already provide to your medically-complex child at home.

Compensation for the care you're already giving

Many parents of children with complex medical needs are already providing full-time, skilled-level care. The Parent Paid Caregiver (PPC) program through Georgia Medicaid recognizes and compensates that care.

EMIC Home Care supports families through every step of enrollment — from eligibility verification to caregiver training to payroll processing. We make it as simple as possible.

💰
