Below is a list of the insurances with which we participate. If we do not participate with your insurance/health plan, we expect payment at the time of service. We will be happy to file your claim for services if you have given us all of the required information. If you are unsure of JDC's participation with your plan, please contact our billing department.

  • Aetna (but not Aetna Better Health CHIP)
  • Highmark Blue Shield (but not My Direct Blue)
  • Capital Blue Cross (but not CHIP, EPO, or Keystone Health Plan)
  • Intergroup
  • UPMC (but not UPMC for You or UPMC for Kids)
  • First Health
  • Blue Cross Blue Shield - most plans

Unfortunately, at this time, we cannot accept newborns or new patients on any of the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) programs. However, for existing patients only, JDC Pediatrics participates with the CHIP plan offered through Highmark Blue Shield, as well as the Medical Assistance plan Highmark Wholecare.

PLEASE NOTE

All new and existing patients MUST disclose to our office if your child has coverage through ANY of the PA medical assistance plans, even if it is a secondary plan. We are obligated by law as a practice to apply this coverage if your child has it. Therefore, withholding information on your insurance coverage is grounds for dismissal from the practice.

If Your Child Has No Health Insurance Coverage

You can go to Pennsylvania's Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) to see if you qualify for CHIP, Pennsylvania’s program to provide health insurance to uninsured children and teens. There you can find information on providers participating with this insurance.
