​Physical HealthChoices
The Physical HealthChoices program is the name of Pennsylvania's mandatory managed care programs for Medicaid (Medical Assistance) recipients.
Through physical health managed care organizations (MCOs), recipients receive quality medical care and timely access to all appropriate physical health services, whether the services are delivered on an inpatient or outpatient basis.
The Department of Human Services' (DHS) Office of Medical Assistance Programs (OMAP) oversees the physical health component of the HealthChoices program.
