Can autism therapy happen at home in Bulloch County?

Does Medicaid pay for autism services in Georgia?
Georgia families can apply to the New Options (NOW) and Comprehensive Supports (COMP) Waivers, a Medicaid waiver that can fund respite, therapies and in-home support. The typical wait is Needs-based, not date-based — position depends on assessed need, and your place is usually set by the date you apply — so applying early matters even if you are unsure what services you need. Many waivers also disregard parental income, so families who don't qualify for regular Medicaid often still qualify here.

If none of the Bulloch County providers is the right fit, these Georgia counties currently have the most listed providers: Bibb County (23), Carroll County (19), Cobb County (17), Dawson County (17).
