Ccsp medicaid provider enrollment application

The Community Care Services Program (CCSP) is a Medicaid-funded program that serves individuals with limited income and resources who have the kinds of needs that would qualify them for nursing home care. CCSP gives these individuals access to services that are essential for daily life so that they may remain in their homes and communities.

If your agency provides one of the following services, you may wish to enroll as a Medicaid waiver provider:

• Adult Day Health
• Emergency Response Systems
• Personal Support Service—assistance with bathing, light housekeeping, laundry, shopping, meal preparation, and respite (caregiver relief)
• Home Delivered Meals
• Skilled Nursing Service
• Out of Home Respite Care
• Alternative Living Services—meals, personal care, and supervision in an approved personal care home

Apply to become a Medicaid Waiver Provider

To grow a client base by becoming a CCSP provider, your agency must apply and be approved by the Georgia Department of Community Health (DCH). Applications are accepted by DCH in March and September of each year. For more information on how to apply, visit the Georgia.gov website.

Community Care Services Program Provider Consultation

ARC has no active role in processing or approving applications to become a Community Care Services Program (CCSP) provider. However, ARC does provide CCSP Provider Consults for those providers that will provide service in Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Fulton, Gwinnett, Henry , or Rockdale counties. CCSP Provider Consults with the appropriate AAA are a required activity to complete the application process to become a CCSP provider. To provide services in other counties, you can find the appropriate AAA at aging.georgia.gov .

To sign up for a CCSP Provider Consult, please visit our Eventbrite page to complete the registration (select the date you would like to attend in the drop-down box at the top).

• The CCSP Provider Consult is not a general information session.
• For those services that require a state license, your agency must already be licensed by the DCH Division of Healthcare Facility Regulation in order to attend a CCSP Provider Consult.
• Providers offering Personal Support Services and Skilled Nursing must have their license from DCH for at least nine (9) months as of the month of application to become a CCSP provider.
