Managed Care – Medicaid in Georgia

The state implemented Georgia Families, a managed care program through which health care services were delivered to Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids™ members in 2006.  The program was a partnership between the DCH and private Care Management Organizations (CMO) ensuring accessible and quality health care services for all of the Medicaid managed care members.  By providing a choice of health plans, Georgia Families allowed members to select a health care plan that fitted their needs.
