As an organization dedicated to supporting rural healthcare systems, HomeTown Health knows that the more people in a community who have health care coverage, the healthier that community and its economy will be.
Medicaid provides important coverage for many low-income rural communities, facilitating preventive care and care coordination for some of Georgia’s most vulnerable people. Yet, currently, many low-income rural families are at risk of losing their Medicaid because they have not yet responded to requests from the State to verify their continued eligibility for coverage.
HomeTown Health, along with the State of Georgia, have one common goal in these efforts: ensuring that those who qualify for Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids® keep their benefits, including postpartum coverage for women and babies up to one year old.
