UPMC Health Plan ... Your Health is Our #1 Priority

UPMC Health Plan’s Student Health Plan is designed to complement your University of Pittsburgh Student Health Service and University Counseling Center. UPMC Health Plan can cover the more extensive medical treatment or emergency care that you may require during your student years that is not covered by your student health fee as indicated on your eBill. See pages 12 and 13 of your University of Pittsburgh brochure for the full range of UPMC Health Plan covered services.

As part of an integrated health care delivery system, UPMC Health Plan includes more than 80 hospitals and more than 7,500 physicians in a 28-county region. We make it our responsibility to help each of our student members enjoy the best quality of life and health possible. Through the many primary care physicians and specialists in our outstanding provider network, we help our members to remain healthy as well as to detect any medical problems at an early stage when treatment is more effective and may prevent such problems from escalating into serious illness.

If your doctor does not participate in the UPMC Health Plan network, you are still covered. Your student health insurance plan gives you the freedom to see out-of-network providers at a reduced benefit level after the annual deductible is met. Additionally, student members may be responsible to pay the difference between the provider's charge and the UPMC Health Plan payment.

Out-of-area students who go home for extended visits and students who travel within the U.S. can use the physicians and facilities of UPMC Health Plan’s national network partner, Private Healthcare Systems (PHCS). This is the largest PPO network in the country, with nearly 450,000 providers and over 4,000 facilities.
