Pennsylvania Health Law Project

Who We Are

PHLP is a 501(c)(3) non-profit law firm that represents Pennsylvanians who need help getting or keeping Medicaid (also known as Medical Assistance or MA).

Through our Helpline, we serve thousands of individuals from across the state each year. We listen to our a client’s story and we translate their personal experience into a legal problem to be solved. Sometimes that means challenging a decision to deny or stop Medicaid benefits. We also challenge Medicaid plans when they reduce or deny services.

Taking what we learn from individual cases, we advocate for large-scale policy changes that help others across the state. We also build capacity among consumers, providers, and other advocates by getting out in the community to provide education and training.  Using the law and advocacy, we ensure that Pennsylvanians meet their most basic needs and have a pathway to opportunity.
