Albright LIFE Lebanon

Albright LIFE Lebanon is a Medicare/Medicaid program in Lebanon, Pennsylvania that helps people meet their health care needs while living in the community instead of in a nursing home or other care facility. LIFE stands for Living Independence for the Elderly and provides coordinated care through a team of health care professionals who work closely with participants and their families.

The program covers all Medicare and Medicaid-covered care and services, as well as additional services deemed medically necessary by the LIFE team, including prescription drugs, doctor visits, transportation, home care, hospital visits, and nursing home stays when needed. Participants receive all their care through Albright LIFE or authorized providers and must obtain prescription medications through the LIFE program rather than a separate Medicare Prescription Drug Plan.

Social services available through the program include caregiver training, support groups, and respite care. Transportation to the LIFE Center for activities, medical appointments, and other approved services is provided to participants.

Costs depend on eligibility; those eligible for Medicaid or dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid pay no monthly premium for LIFE. Medicare-only beneficiaries are charged a monthly premium, and private pay options are available. There are no deductibles or copayments for any drugs, services, or care approved by the LIFE team of health care professionals. The program serves partial coverage of Clinton County; interested individuals should verify their zip code for eligibility.
