HELP IS HERE

PeopleOne Health is dedicated to helping those on Medicaid and Medicare get the care they deserve. If you are currently on Medicaid or Medicare, or if you are Dual Eligible, we have someone in our office who can help you get signed up.

We also can also help you navigate benefits, including checking to see if you qualify for MAWD (Medical Assistance for Workers with Disabilities). This program lets Pennsylvanians with a disability take a job, earn more money, and still keep their medical coverage and home and community-based services.

Whatever your situation, we are here to help. Call us at 1.800.925.0611 or contact us to learn more.

PARTNERSHIP WITH SENIOR LIFE 

If you are over 55 and meet eligibility guidelines, you may qualify for Senior Life. And when you enroll in Senior LIFE Altoona or Senior LIFE Johnstown, you will not only have access to all the healthcare and supportive services offered by Senior LIFE, but you will also have a membership to PeopleOne Health included at no cost to you!
