Georgia Access was created to help connect Georgians to the health insurance coverage that best meets their needs and circumstances, regardless of what types of coverage they qualify for or how they apply. With Georgia Access, this connected approach will lead you to the optimal solution. You can apply whether or not you qualify for Medical Assistance (Medicaid & or PeachCare for Kids®) with one of two options:
Option One: Georgians who are interested in applying for Medical Assistance but are not sure if they qualify can go to medicaid.georgia.gov to review basic eligibility information, learn about different Medical Assistance programs in Georgia and how to apply.
Individuals may choose to apply for healthcare coverage through the Georgia Medicaid website. If the individual is determined ineligible for Medicaid or PeachCare for Kids®, their information will be transferred to Georgia Access.
Option Two: Should you prefer to start off with Georgia Access because your account was transferred with an access code from Healthcare.gov, but believe due to a change in your circumstances that you may now be eligible for Medical Assistance (Medicaid or PeachCare for Kids®), you can apply for health insurance coverage at www.GeorgiaAccess.gov and click the yellow box “Get Covered” on the Georgia Access home page.
Individuals applying for healthcare coverage through Georgia Access who are assessed as potentially eligible for Medicaid or PeachCare for Kids® by Georgia Access will have their application transferred to the Georgia Division of Family and Children Services(DFCS) for a Medical Assistance (Medicaid or PeachCare for Kids®) eligibility determination.
If you need help setting up your Georgia Access account or the application process, you can call Georgia Access at 1-888-687-1503.

No matter how you choose to apply, Georgia Access will work with you to find the best, most affordable and comprehensive health coverage.
