Insurance Medicaid, Medicare, PH95 and others

Insurance Medicaid, Medicare, PH95, and others Intro

Medicaid covers a broad range of physical and behavioral health services, including doctor visits when you’re sick, preventive care like health screenings, vaccines, hospital stays, prescription medications, mental health and substance use disorder care, and more


The Children's Health Insurance Program — or CHIP — is Pennsylvania's program to provide health coverage to uninsured children and teens who are not eligible for or enrolled in Medicaid/Medical Assistance.


If you’re 21 or older and have both Medicare and Medicaid or receive long-term support through Medicaid because you need help with everyday personal tasks, you will be covered by Community HealthChoices (CHC).


Several Private Insurance Companies provide insurance coverage in PA.
