Our Commitment
We are committed to making care accessible and affordable for all. Learn about your insurance options and the financial support programs available to you.
Howard Brown Health welcomes patients whether they have insurance, are uninsured, or have out-of-network coverage. The plans listed below are the insurance plans that are currently in-network with Howard Brown Health.
Don’t see your insurance listed? That’s okay. We still encourage you to make an appointment and bring your insurance card with you. Our team will make every reasonable effort to verify your insurance benefits and explain your coverage before your visit whenever possible. If you have questions regarding your coverage, you can schedule an appointment with a Benefits Navigator by calling 773.388.1600 ext. 1079 or you can schedule an appointment online.
We work hard to give you the most accurate insurance information we can. Insurance coverage, eligibility, network participation, and payment are determined by your insurance company. We encourage you to contact your insurance company before your visit to confirm:
- If Howard Brown Health is in your network
- What services are covered
- If you need a referral or prior authorization
Howard Brown Health provides high-quality care to tens of thousands of insured and uninsured patients and clients. We accept many public and private insurance plans, including Medicaid and Medicare.
Even if your insurance plan is on this list, it is always best practice to contact your insurance company directly and confirm that they will cover care received at Howard Brown Health. If you are an insured patient with an HMO plan, please designate Howard Brown Health as your primary care provider (PCP) in order to expedite insurance processing and avoid denials of coverage.

Dental insurance is different from medical insurance. Even if you have medical insurance, you may have a separate dental plan.
Please bring your dental insurance card to your dental visit whenever possible. We need your dental insurance information to check your benefits and tell you what services may be covered.
If you do not have your dental insurance card, we may not be able to check your benefits before your visit. This means we cannot promise that your dental services will be covered or paid for by your insurance.

- Aetna (DentaQuest)
