Welcome to Community HealthChoices!
The Department of Human Services (DHS) is committed to increasing opportunities for older Pennsylvanians and individuals with physical disabilities to remain in their homes. If you’re 21 or older and have both Medicare and Medicaid, or receive long-term supports through Medicaid because you need help with everyday personal tasks, you will be covered by Community HealthChoices (CHC).
CHC will coordinate your health care coverage to improve the quality of your health care experience — serving more people in communities rather than in facilities, giving them the opportunity to work, spend more time with their families, and experience an overall better quality of life.
CHC Implementation Timeline
CHC was phased in across the commonwealth over a three-year period starting January 1, 2018. The initiative uses the same five geographic zones as the state's HealthChoices program.
