What is Pennsylvania’s Community HealthChoices Program?

Pennsylvania’s Community HealthChoices (CHC) is a relatively new Medicaid program that uses managed care organizations (MCOs) to eliminate healthcare confusion and see that you get the health and wellness you need. Managed care programs historically have improved the level of care and long-term support needed to maintain higher levels of physical health for their community members.

The CHC managed care program was designed to:

  • Make Medicare, Medicaid, and additional services work more fluidly, so you can maximize all the benefits and medical assistance available.
  • Make home living accommodations like ramps, handrails and vehicle modifications so people can live on their own and safe
  • Improve quality of life situations to provide more long-term services and support, deliver proactive healthcare, and support underserved populations such as individuals with mental disabilities or physical disabilities, financial inefficiencies, and behavioral health needs.
