Managed Long Term Services & Supports (MLTSS)

The Department of Human Services (DHS) (formerly the Department of Public Welfare), along with the PA Department of Aging, are in the process of initiating managed care for long-term services and supports, which means nursing home care.

This initiative will impact senior citizens and the disabilities community directly. It will also possibly impact in-home programs and Area Agency on Aging departments across the state.

The purpose of this webpage is to provide you with information about this important evolving process. The State plan is to implement managed care in Southwestern Pennsylvania by January 1, 2017. It will be rolled out to the rest of the State the following two years.
