About this organization
Mission
PHLP is a nationally recognized expert and consultant on access to health care for low-income consumers, seniors, and persons with disabilities. For more than 25 years, PHLP has engaged in direct advocacy on behalf of individual consumers while working on the kinds of health policy changes that promise the most to the Pennsylvanians in greatest need. PHLP provides free legal services to lower-income consumers, seniors, and persons with disabilities who are having trouble accessing publicly funded healthcare coverage or services. We also serve as a resource to local legal services and advise or offer co-counsel to attorneys or paralegals at all of the legal services programs around Pennsylvania.
About
PHLP is the only statewide law firm devoted to providing free legal services to Pennsylvanians seeking health coverage and to persons already in Pennsylvania administered health insurance programs (e.g., Medicaid) who need legal assistance to access health care. In FYE 2019, we represented 2,449 individuals; helping them obtain services such as life sustaining medications, home health aides, mental health services, and durable medical equipment. We focus on the most vulnerable; people who have nowhere else to turn, and who, without our services would be significantly harmed.
