Swing Care, the specialty clinic for comprehensive fibromyalgia treatment, is now available in Pennsylvania, with coverage from several major insurance plans, including Highmark, United Healthcare, UPMC and Medicare.
The launch marks the eighth state for Swing’s innovative and evidence-driven approach to care, which combines medication management with non-drug options that are often inaccessible to patients. Now, over 13 million Pennsylvania residents will be able to visit a fibromyalgia specialist virtually, often covered by their insurance.
“In the traditional healthcare system, people with fibromyalgia have limited options when it comes to their treatment. It can feel like there’s no opportunity to get back to the life they love,” said Dr. Andrea Chadwick, Medical Director at Swing Care. “We’re thrilled that patients in Pennsylvania have a home at Swing Care for dedicated, empathetic fibromyalgia treatment that’s truly focused on improving our patients’ outcomes.”
Swing’s treatments include Stanza, a guideline-directed digital behavioral therapy that received FDA De Novo marketing authorization in 2023, as the first digital therapeutic indicated for treating fibromyalgia symptoms.
In publication of data in The Lancet from its pivotal Phase 3 trial, Stanza demonstrated significant improvements compared to an active control on virtually all endpoints, including fibromyalgia-related well-being, pain intensity, pain interference, fatigue, and depression.

If you are experiencing symptoms of fibromyalgia, this fibromyalgia self-test based on a standardized diagnostic tool may help you determine whether you may need professional evaluation for fibromyalgia from a physician. However, this is not a diagnosis, and Swing Care clinicians are available for a consultation to discuss your symptoms and history, as well as other potential diagnoses.
