We help Pennsylvanians in need get the healthcare they deserve.

The mission of the Pennsylvania Health Law Project (PHLP) is to protect and advance health care rights through free legal services, community education, and systemic advocacy.

PHLP is the only legal aid organization in Pennsylvania dedicated to protecting and advancing healthcare rights. For more than 30 years, PHLP has assisted individuals and families across the state in navigating the complexities of health insurance to ensure they receive the care they need and deserve. By leveraging insights gained from individual cases, PHLP advocates for large-scale policy changes that benefit others across the state and engages in community outreach and education to empower healthcare consumers, providers, and fellow advocates.

We use our legal expertise and our experience working with clients to train advocates, health care providers, social workers, and consumers throughout the state on a wide range of health care related topics. These trainings include both in-person and webinar events, and range in topic from Medicaid 101 to more in-depth topics like successful appeal strategies, writing letters of medical necessity, and more.
