What is your health insurance provider?*
Disclaimer: At this time, Along The Way does not bill health insurance for any of our services. However, the state of Pennsylvania is exploring potential expansions of Medicaid benefits that could, in the future, include services like those Along The Way provides. While there is no immediate change, and Pennsylvania has not yet introduced any formal plans to cover our services, we are proactively collecting health insurance information to be prepared for any potential updates. By gathering this information now, we aim to ensure that if such changes occur, we can quickly and efficiently provide expanded services to eligible families. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work to support our clients' holistic well-being.
