UPMC for You Medical Assistance Program

Use the Best
UPMC for You and quality go hand-in-hand. You can go to over 80 hospitals. You can choose from over 7,000 doctors.

This site offers you the opportunity to view the Medical Assistance Member Handbook, read past and present Caring for You member newsletters which include articles on smoking cessation and maternity issues, and also you will be able to find a doctor with our searchable Provider Directory tool.



Benefits

You can count on us for prescription drug coverage. You get all of the same drugs that Medical Assistance covers, and you get some over-the-counter drugs and vitamins with a prescription. Some medications may require a copayment.

Healthy teeth are important. We cover exams, cleanings, and fillings for all members.

Vision
You deserve to see clearly. You get a yearly visit with your eye doctor, plus $100 toward glasses or contact lenses.

We cover doctor visits, with no copayments.
