​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.
