We accept a variety of health insurance plans and will submit claims on your behalf. Certain coverage restrictions may apply based on your individual benefit package. Please check with your health insurance carrier to see if Penn State Health is part of your insurance plan network. If you receive services from a provider who is in your insurance plan network, you may receive the highest level of benefits. If you receive services from a provider who is not in your insurance plan network, the insurance plan may require out of network authorizations and pay at a lower level of benefits.

If you do not have insurance coverage or are in need of assistance with balances remaining after insurance processing, our financial counselors can assist in determining whether you qualify for a special program, payment plan, or charity.

The federal government ended the continuous coverage for Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) recipients effective April 1, 2023. The continuous coverage requirement was part of the COVID Public Health Emergency. All Medicaid and CHIP recipients must renew their coverage or risk losing insurance coverage.
