Financial assistance state resources

At Penn Medicine, we offer state and hospital resources to help patients and their families with financial assistance, including those at Lancaster General Health and Penn Medicine Princeton Health.

Pennsylvania financial resources

Assistance is available for individuals with income up to 400% of the Federal Poverty Level who have no more than $10,000 in the bank per adult in the household.

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 financial assistance program.

For information on the next opportunity to enroll in the Pennsylvania Health Insurance Exchange or other questions, please contact Lancaster General Health financial counselors at 717-544-1957 or contact Penn Medicine at 800-406-1177.

Our financial counselors are available to help you apply for PA Medical Assistance benefits for you and your family. Uninsured children 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).
