HB 595 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of June 13, 1967 (P.L.31, No.21), known as the Human Services Code, in public assistance, providing for behavioral health and physical health services integration.

HB 595 requires Pennsylvania's Medicaid program to integrate mental health, addiction, and physical health services into a single managed care system for all eligible residents. The bill mandates that the state contract with managed care organizations to provide comprehensive, community-based care addressing both behavioral and physical health needs, while also addressing social factors affecting health. It requires the state to seek federal waiver approval by October 1, 2025, to implement this integration, including mandatory enrollment for all Medicaid-eligible individuals in the new system. This change aims to improve care coordination and create a more efficient health care delivery model.
