Reply to comment by Riverrun221 in What is the healthcare system like here for those with Medicaid ? And how are mental health services? by Riverrun221

Westmoreland County resident here (just outside of Pittsburgh)

Before Pennsylvania opted into the Medicaid expansion, there were (and may still be) mental health resources available on the county level.

My Rx and doctor visits were covered; I participated in Westmoreland Casemanagement and Supports, a nonprofit. I think they contracted with the county to provide MH services to low-income individuals.

They may have something like that in Allentown.

Medicaid in Pennsylvania DOES cover mental health treatment.

I'm on Medicaid, but have not used the program's MH services myself.
