What Is Behavioral HealthChoices?

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's mandatory Medicaid managed care program, called HealthChoices (HC), is the largest Medicaid Assistance (MA) program administered by the Department of Human Services (DHS).

Our agency offers access to behavioral heath services for adults and youths who are recipients (or eligible for benefits) of medical assistance in Lycoming and Clinton Counties.

Our Goals

The Lycoming-Clinton Behavioral HealthChoices program has three goals that guide our implementation efforts:

  • To improve access to health care services for Medicaid recipients

  • To improve the quality of care available to Medicaid recipients; and

  • To be cost effective with Pennsylvania's Medicaid spending


If you have the HealthChoices benefit, you may be eligible to receive behavioral health services. We’ll help you determine your eligibility.
