Description:

The mission of the Right from the Start Medical Assistance Group (RSM) is to enable children under age 19, pregnant women, low income families and women with breast or cervical cancer to receive comprehensive health services through Medicaid and related programs. RSM eligibility specialists help these working and low-income families obtain access to no cost and low-cost health care coverage.

The RSM Group conducts community outreach events throughout Georgia. The RSM staff is available outside the traditional Monday-Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. office hours so that work, school and childcare arrangements do not present barriers to service.
