The Affordable Care Act

The Affordable Care Act allows people to enroll in an insurance plan through the Pennsylvania Health Insurance Exchange Authority called Pennie. We strongly recommend you look into this program. Failure to enroll could impact the level of assistance provided through the LG Health Financial Assistance Program. 

For information on the next opportunity to enroll in the Pennsylvania Health Insurance Exchange or other questions, please contact our financial counselors at 717-544-1957.

PA Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program

Our financial counselors are available to help you apply for PA Medical Assistance benefits for you and your family. Uninsured children and and teens who are not eligible for or enrolled in Medical Assistance may qualify for health insurance through the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). CHIP offers medical, dental, vision and immunization coverage. Visit CHIPcoversPAkids.com for more information on services and to apply online.
