Pennsylvania should complete by the end of September its transition from former Governor Tom Corbett’s Healthy Pennsylvania Medicaid expansion program to new Governor Tom Wolf’s more traditional approach to Medicaid expansion.
According to Ted Dallas, acting secretary of the Department of Human Services, the transition involves combining the addition of newly eligible Pennsylvanians onto the state’s Medicaid rolls, moving all eligible participants into a single benefit plan instead of the two-tiered plan employed under Healthy Pennsylvania, and updating the state’s information systems to accommodate these changes.
Adding the newly eligible Pennsylvanians to the state’s Medicaid rolls and moving them into a single benefit plan should be completed by the end of April.  Updating the state’s information systems will take longer and should be completed by the end of September.
