A Program Of The Georgia Department Of Community Health A SNAPSHOT OF Georgia Families Overview In 2006, the state of Georgia implemented Georgia Families, a managed care program through which health care services are delivered to members of Medicaid and PeachCare for KidsTM. The program is a partnership between the Georgia Department of Community Health (DCH) and private Care Management Organizations (CMO) to ensure accessible and quality health care services for all of the Medicaid managed care members. By providing a choice of health plans, Georgia Families allows members to select a health care plan that fits their needs. The Managed Care Division, a division of DCH, also monitors the CMOs to ensure compliance with contract requirement standards for contract management, member services, provider services and quality services.
