An Act amending the act of June 13, 1967 (P.L.31, No.21), known as the Human Services Code, in public assistance, further providing for enrollment limitation.

This bill updates Pennsylvania's Human Services Code to establish stricter rules for when individuals can switch managed care health plans. It requires people who qualify for public assistance to stay in their current plan for at least twelve months unless they meet specific criteria to change. The law allows switching without a reason during a short window after first joining a plan, once a year during a designated enrollment period, or at any time for documented "good cause" such as moving, religious objections, or poor quality of care. To approve a switch based on quality issues, the department must review objective evidence like medical records or official complaints rather than relying on general dissatisfaction. The state must also follow federal regulations when implementing these changes and provide a process for appealing denied requests.
