HealthChoices is the Pennsylvania Medicaid (Medical Assistance) plan that covers more uninsured Pennsylvanians than ever before. The HealthChoices program is administered by the Department of Human Services (DHS).

In 2006, Bedford and Somerset Counties formed a 501(c)3 corporation called Behavioral Health Services of Somerset and Bedford Counties, Inc. (BHSSBC), which has the responsibility of overseeing the local substance use and behavioral health services funded through the Pennsylvania HealthChoices program.
