Does Jewish Family Services only provide services to Jewish clients?

Does JFS accept insurance?

YES, JFS Delaware accepts most commercial insurance policies, including Medicaid & Medicare, and will also honor an EAP. 

Every insurance plan is different – we can verify coverage and share that information with you (the client) so you understand what your financial responsibility may be. If there are financial circumstances which impact your ability to pay for the service you are receiving, please call 302-478-9411 to speak with our Billing Department about a payment plan or other options. JFS offers sliding scale fees for those without insurance.

May I see a counselor or staff person, remotely?

YES, after 120 years of in-person care – in our offices, clients’ homes, schools and community spaces – JFS Delaware has made the transition to provide our counseling and case management services remotely as well. Individualizing treatment approach is an important part of the therapeutic process – one which JFS therapists and case managers have always prioritized – and telehealth is perfectly suited to adapt to each person’s unique needs. Contact us at 302-478-9411 ext. 306 or complete our online intake form to get started.
