Behavioral Health Rehabilitation Services (formerly know as Wrap Around)
Wrap around services are provided to children and their families in a child’s home and/or educational environment.
Services include Behavioral Specialist Consultant, Mobile Therapy, and/or Therapeutic Support Staff. Only children
who receive Medical Assistance (MA) may be eligible for these services. Children may be eligible for MA if they
have a mental health or educational diagnosis or disability OR if the family’s financial situation is such that they
qualify for MA as their primary form of insurance.
If you have difficulties finding an agency available to work with you, call Magellan at 1-877-769-9784
To apply for MA, call 215-781-3300 to request an application or apply online www.compass.state.pa.us
