CCSP

Community Care Services Program
(Title XIX Medicaid Waiver Program)

The Community Care Services Program (CCSP) provides services to help older and disabled Georgians to remain in the community rather than entering a long term care facility when such services can be safely and appropriately delivered in a home setting.

Although it is a Medicaid waiver program, CCSP is NOT a type of Medicaid. In order to receive the Medicaid benefit under CCSP, the client must also receive one or more services under CCSP. If services are terminated, the client also loses the Medicaid benefit. Clients may incur a cost share (co-pay) for CCSP services. Also, potential clients must meet the Level of Care for nursing home placement in order to qualify for Community Care services.

For eligibility screening and estimated cost share information, please contact the Gateway Staff at 1-800-759-2963.
