Official Website

of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

    The .gov means its official.

    Local, state, and federal government websites often end in .gov. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania government websites and email systems use "pennsylvania.gov" or "pa.gov" at the end of the address. Before sharing sensitive or personal information, make sure you're on an official state website. 

    ​Government Health Insurance Parity

    If you get your insurance from a government program, such as Medicare, Medicaid (sometimes called Medical Assistance or Health Choices in Pennsylvania), or the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), you should check with the program from which you receive coverage to understand what benefits you are entitled to.
