Health Plans Toolkit

Pennsylvania’s Department of Human Services (DHS) is changing which Physical Health Managed Care Organizations (PH plan) are available for Medical Assistance (MA) consumers. This was a competitive process that allowed DHS to improve access to care and the quality of care for MA consumers. This toolkit is designed to provide information to a variety of stakeholders about what to expect from these changes and how to assist MA consumers.
