 Identifying and managing health risks
UPMC Health Plan implements special programs to help members who have chronic illnesses manage their conditions, improve their level of health, and enjoy the best quality of life possible.
Physicians are active partners
Unlike most health insurers, we are part of a world-class academic medical center, and our health management programs are developed in collaboration  with UPMC's leading clinical and research experts. We focus on specific chronic conditions that have been shown to respond well to care management — with the ultimate goal of slowing the increase of health care costs.
We facilitate the doctor-patient relationship and support members in getting the prevention and early intervention services they need. UPMC Health Plan gives doctors access to information so they can work with members to improve outcomes.
Supporting healthy changes
We seek to control escalating health care costs by directly addressing the problem of chronic disease. Knowledge, motivation, empowerment, and behavior change are key elements of our care management program. Interventions are offered to assist in changing unhealthy habits and attitudes that can reduce risks and improve overall health.
