Georgia · Application guide
Applying for Georgia Katie Beckett (TEFRA / Deeming Waiver) Medicaid means assembling a multi-form packet, timing a physician visit around a 90-day clock, and sending the right documents to two different places. This page is an organizer for that map — not an eligibility decision. Confirm every requirement with Georgia DCH, the Centralized Katie Beckett Medicaid Team, or your case manager.
WaiverPath is not a government agency, law firm, Medicaid provider, or benefits advisor. We help you organize information, documents, and follow-up tasks. Always verify requirements with the official agency or a qualified professional.
Norcross and Alliant are not interchangeable. Pick the row that matches the document, then confirm the current address on the official DCH Katie Beckett page before you send it.
Program rules live on the Georgia Katie Beckett waiver guide. This page is the Form 94 / Norcross / Alliant application path.
Step 1
Katie Beckett (TEFRA) is generally designed for children under 18 who Georgia DCH determines meet an institutional level of care and can be cared for at home cost-effectively. Parent income and assets are generally treated as unavailable for this pathway — only the child's are considered. Confirm current eligibility criteria with Georgia DCH or the Centralized Katie Beckett Medicaid Team — WaiverPath does not determine eligibility.
Official source ↗Step 2
Get the current packet from the official DCH page: the Katie Beckett Medicaid Application (Form 94, English or Spanish), Pediatric DMA-6(A), DMA-706 Medical Necessity/Level of Care, and DMA-704 Cost-Effectiveness. The full DCH packet with instructions runs about 41 pages. Confirm the current packet on the official DCH Katie Beckett page — do not reuse an old saved copy.
Official source ↗Step 3
The child's physician completes the Pediatric DMA-6(A) and DMA-706. Every item on the DMA-6(A) must be answered (N/A is allowed), and the form is valid only 90 days from the physician's signature — book the appointment early and plan to mail promptly after signing. Confirm the current DMA-6(A) validity window with DCH — WaiverPath does not extend it.
Official source ↗Step 4
Fill out the Katie Beckett Medicaid Application (Form 94) for the child, checking the Katie Beckett block. Answer every question completely; incomplete packets slow the review and trigger missing-information requests. Confirm the current Form 94 on medicaid.georgia.gov before you fill it out.
Official source ↗Step 5
Gather evaluations, therapy notes, and hospitalization records that support the level-of-care review. Medical documentation goes to Alliant Health Solutions, Attn: TEFRA/Katie Beckett, P.O. Box 105406, Atlanta, GA 30348. Confirm the current Alliant address on the official DCH or PAMMS page before you mail.
Official source ↗Step 6
Mail to the Centralized Katie Beckett Medicaid Team, 2211 Beaver Ruin Road, Suite 150, Norcross, GA 30071, or fax 678-248-7459. Since April 15, 2026 you can also upload documents through the Katie Beckett portal. Keep a full copy of everything you send. Confirm the current street address, fax, and portal status on the official DCH Katie Beckett page before you send anything — the old P.O. Box has not been accepted since June 17, 2024.
Official source ↗Step 7
If the packet is incomplete, families get 30 days to supply the missing information to Alliant. Log the request date the day it arrives and set a reminder well before the deadline. Confirm the current missing-information window with Alliant or DCH — WaiverPath does not set it.
Official source ↗Step 8
The Katie Beckett portal (launched April 15, 2026) offers document upload, status tracking, and secure messaging. You can also call the Centralized Katie Beckett Medicaid Team at 678-248-7449. Confirm current portal steps and the team phone number on the official DCH Katie Beckett page.
Official source ↗Step 9
Georgia materials state that level-of-care approvals are authorized for no less than 2 years. Record the approval date and set a renewal check about 22 months out so the next review never sneaks up. Confirm the current authorization period with DCH on the approval letter — timing can vary by case.
Official source ↗Step 10
Write down the Norcross mail, fax, or portal date, the Alliant medical-document date, confirmation or tracking numbers, and every DCH or Alliant contact. A 30-day missing-information clock is easier to meet when the trail is dated. Confirm current response windows with DCH or Alliant.
Official source ↗If you landed here looking for how to file the Georgia Katie Beckett application, start from the official DCH page and a dated confirmation — not a third-party reprint of the forms.
The application packet (Form 94 plus the DMA forms) goes to the Centralized Katie Beckett Medicaid Team in Norcross. Level-of-care medical records go to Alliant. Mixing the two can stall both reviews. Confirm current addresses on the official DCH Katie Beckett page before you send anything.
Georgia's Pediatric DMA-6(A) is valid only 90 days from the physician's signature. Book the visit early, pre-fill identifying sections, and plan to mail, fax, or upload promptly after signing. If the form goes stale, families generally need a new physician visit. Confirm the current validity window with DCH — WaiverPath does not extend it.
Since April 15, 2026, families can also upload documents through katiebeckettportal.dch.georgia.gov. Mail and fax remain routes. Record the username, the email on the account, and the upload date. Confirm current portal steps on the official site — screens change.
The old P.O. Box has not been accepted since June 17, 2024. Use the Beaver Ruin Road street address in Norcross, the fax, or the portal. Confirm the current street address on the official DCH page before you print a label.
Official starting points: Georgia DCH TEFRA/Katie Beckett ↗ and katiebeckettportal.dch.georgia.gov ↗.
Missing-information clocks and the 90-day DMA-6(A) window are easier to confirm with DCH when you have a dated paper trail. Write these down the day you submit.
These are paperwork and follow-up errors — not legal advice. Confirm process questions with Georgia DCH, Alliant, or your case manager.
The form expires 90 days after the physician signs. A late mailing can mean a new doctor visit. Track the signature date the day it happens and confirm the current window with DCH.
Every item must be answered; write N/A rather than skipping. Incomplete physician pages commonly trigger a 30-day missing-information clock with Alliant.
That box stopped being accepted June 17, 2024. Use the Beaver Ruin Road street address, the fax, or the portal. Confirm the current address with DCH.
The application packet and the level-of-care documentation have different destinations. Log both send dates. Confirm current routing on the official DCH page.
A 30-day missing-info request is harder to meet if you have to rebuild the packet from scratch. Copy everything before you send it.
DMA-706 needs both the physician and the primary caregiver to sign and date. Confirm the current signature block with DCH before you leave the office.
Assemble a paper packet — Form 94 plus physician-completed DMA-6(A), DMA-706, and DMA-704 — and mail it to the Centralized Katie Beckett Medicaid Team, 2211 Beaver Ruin Road, Suite 150, Norcross, GA 30071, fax 678-248-7459, or upload through katiebeckettportal.dch.georgia.gov (available since April 15, 2026). Send medical documentation for the level-of-care review separately to Alliant Health Solutions, Attn: TEFRA/Katie Beckett, P.O. Box 105406, Atlanta, GA 30348. Confirm current addresses and routes on the official DCH Katie Beckett page. WaiverPath does not submit the application.
Form 94 is Georgia's Katie Beckett Medicaid application. Check the Katie Beckett block on page 1, complete the child and household fields, and sign and date. Parent income is generally treated as unavailable for this pathway, but the form still asks for household information. Confirm current financial rules with Georgia DCH — WaiverPath does not determine eligibility. Download the current form from medicaid.georgia.gov — do not reuse an old saved copy.
The Pediatric DMA-6(A) (Physician's Recommendation) is valid only 90 days from the physician's signature. Every item must be answered (N/A is allowed). Schedule the visit early and plan to mail, fax, or upload promptly after signing. Confirm the current validity window with DCH — WaiverPath does not extend it.
Mail the application packet to the Centralized Katie Beckett Medicaid Team, 2211 Beaver Ruin Road, Suite 150, Norcross, GA 30071, or fax 678-248-7459. The old P.O. Box has not been accepted since June 17, 2024. You can also upload through the DCH Katie Beckett portal. Confirm the current street address on the official DCH page before you print a label.
Form 94 and the DMA physician forms go to the Norcross intake team (mail, fax, or portal). Evaluations, therapy notes, discharge summaries, and nursing notes that support the level-of-care review go to Alliant Health Solutions, Attn: TEFRA/Katie Beckett, P.O. Box 105406, Atlanta, GA 30348. Confirm current routing with DCH or Alliant — mixing the two destinations can stall both reviews.
Yes. Georgia DCH launched katiebeckettportal.dch.georgia.gov on April 15, 2026 for document upload, status tracking, and secure messaging. Mail and fax remain routes. Record the username, email, and upload date. Confirm current portal steps on the official site.
Katie Beckett is a TEFRA state-plan option: parent income and assets are generally treated as unavailable and are not counted for this pathway. Only the child's own income and assets are considered. Confirm current financial rules with Georgia DCH or the Centralized Katie Beckett Medicaid Team — WaiverPath does not determine eligibility.
Katie Beckett is not a capped 1915(c) HCBS waiver like NOW or COMP. It is a TEFRA Medicaid pathway administered by Georgia DCH, so families should confirm current enrollment and processing rules directly with DCH. NOW and COMP waitlists are a different DBHDD track.
The usual packet is Form 94 (family), Pediatric DMA-6(A) (physician, 90-day signature clock), DMA-706 Medical Necessity/Level of Care (physician + caregiver signatures), and DMA-704 Cost-Effectiveness (physician). The full DCH packet with instructions runs about 41 pages. Confirm the current forms on the official DCH Katie Beckett page before you print.
No — WaiverPath is an organizer for families, not an agency, case manager, or representative. Free accounts open the Georgia checklist and remind you of follow-up dates. Plus ($4.99/mo or $39/yr) adds a Form 94 packet assistant for capturing physician dates, destination logs, and Alliant follow-up in one place. Confirm eligibility, packet contents, and timelines with Georgia DCH or your case manager.
