Our Mission
The Georgia Primary Care Association (GPCA), formerly known as GAPHC, is a member service organization representing the Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) in Georgia through the provision of training, technical assistance and the development and implementation of strategies to expand and strengthen the FQHC system. Additionally, GPCA is involved in the development and implementation of additional programs and services that will enhance the FQHC health care delivery system. GPCA provides direction and leadership for required community development activities that are related to both the development of new start FQHC organizations and operations of existing FQHC organizations.

2021 Special Enrollment Period in Response to the COVID-19 Emergency
February 15 - August 15, 2021
February 15 - August 15, 2021
The Federally-facilitated Marketplace will provide an additional enrollment period for 2021 coverage (“the 2021 SEP”) for applications submitted from February 15 through May 15. Many consumers need help applying for coverage or picking a plan, and GPCA has Navigators available to assist consumers and organizations around the state to help those with questions. Through healthcare.gov, income-qualifying consumers can access coverage that includes low-cost premiums and co-pays, and no deductibles. Access to health coverage for individuals can be found at healthcare.gov website.
Consumers who needs assistance can call 1-844-442-7421 or send a message by visiting georgiapca.org/resources/outreach-enrollment/ to one of our Patient Navigators to ask for help with applying, pick a plan, enroll or answer your questions.
