Welcome to Magellan of Georgia

Magellan Healthcare is committed to the state of Georgia and helping its citizens live healthy, vibrant lives. We’ve been providing a range of products and services while supporting important community initiatives in Georgia since 2009. We currently serve citizens with our employee assistance programs, so we are excited to participate in Georgia’s procurement opportunity to administer the Georgia Children’s Behavioral Health Plan. Drawing on our successful experience with partners to deliver high-quality behavioral health programs across the country, we are confident we can get children and youth in Georgia the care they need, improve member health and help families thrive as a responsible steward of taxpayer dollars. Read on to learn how we do it.

The Magellan Healthcare difference

Magellan is a longtime leader in children’s behavioral health management, making a positive difference for children, youth and families and the communities we serve. We have moved beyond traditional care by combining decades of innovative strategies and clinical best practices with high-touch, personalized care. We help multi-system-involved children and youth and those involved in residential treatment to integrate back into their community, school and home. We empower families to live together safely, independently and with hope.
