Cam and Madi’s Promise, Incorporated (C.A.M.P) is making great efforts to advocate for the growing number of children and families in Georgia facing the diagnosis of a developmental or intellectual disability requiring an institutional level of care comparable to that provided by hospitals, nursing homes, and intermediate skilled nursing facilitates. We also provide assistance to families of children who have acquired spinal and brain injuries requiring institutionalized levels of care, as well.
At C.A.M.P, we are devoted to helping Special Needs families overcome the occurrence of financial and emotional hardships that arise while trying to meet the demands of today's costly healthcare system. The approval for a Medicaid Waiver can provide not only access to quality health care for these children, but also the relief their parents will have knowing their children are getting the services they deserve.
Join our movement and secure a brighter future for your child, or that of a child you know, whose family could use our free support.

New Options and the Comprehensive Supports Waivers
Eligibility for the Katie Beckett Waiver is based on whether the child's intellectual or developmental disability rises to an Institutional Level of Care (ILOC). ILOC is care received in the community that is comparable to care provided at either a hospital, a nursing home or intermediate skilled nursing facility.
Being approved for a Medicaid waiver may allow for some additional benefits, as well. For families with employer sponsored health insurance serving as their disabled child's primary coverage, Medicaid may reimburse their monthly premium payment if the state deems it's cost effective to do so. This program is called the Health Insurance Premium Payment Program (HIPP), and uses a specific formula to determine eligibility. https://medicaid.georgia.gov/sites/medicaid.georgia.gov/files/related_files/document/GA-HIPP-Brochure.pdf If a family is denied HIPP, it may be eligible to have some of its monthly premium reimbursed under the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act (CHIPRA) https://medicaid.georgia.gov/children%E2%80%99s-health-insurance-program-reauthorization-act-2009-chipra

he NOW/COMP Waiver provides additional services not offered by the Katie Beckett Waiver. Beneficiaries must still meet ILOC to be approved and be Medicaid eligible. It is common for parents and caregivers to apply for the NOW/COMP waiver after their child has been approved for the Katie Beckett waiver. The cost of services required by the beneficiary determines whether they are eligible for the NOW, or the COMP Waiver. These waivers are also based on "Most in Need" so the beneficiary could receive benefits shortly after being approved, particularly for beneficiaries/patients with high acuity levels (i.e., complex medical needs requiring in home nursing care). For beneficiaries with lower acuity levels, are under age 22 or still receiving school-based services, they typically receive their NOW/COMP waivers several years later after initially applying. After an evaluation is completed by the appropriate DBHDD staff, the beneficiary is placed on either the Short or Long term planning list which determines how soon the beneficiary's benefits will begin. For families whose children are on a Planning List (i.e., Wait List) they may be eligible for Family Support services which is funding that pays for medical treatment and other community activities children require outside of the home. Once approved for Family Support Services, in order to maintain eligibility for funding, you must complete your annual Individual Family Support Plan (IFSP), and your family support agreement. You should also begin to use funds no later than 90 days after your child's annual award. Failure to do so may result in your child's funds being withdrawn as funds are distributed on a "first come first served basis.
