Copays are a separate part of the picture.

The same January 2025 report lists maximum monthly family copayments of $233 for a family of three and $278 for a family of four in Georgia.

These are maximums reported under those plans, not a quote for your family. Waivers, income bands, local schedules and provider charges can change what a family pays. Some states had temporary compliance waivers in the source period.

Use the current application.

Check current income rules, which income counts, work or education requirements, child age, documentation and funding availability. The state can explain rules for family sizes beyond the two shown in the federal table.
