Your Health Is Our #1 Priority

As part of an integrated health care delivery system, UPMC Health Plan includes more than 90 hospitals and more than 9,800 physicians. 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 within our large national network that includes more than half a million providers and nearly 5,000 facilities.
