Review your coverage

Whether you are a new or returning member, it’s important to take a few minutes to review your member guide. We update this guide each year, and the information it contains will help you take control of your health and your health care expenses.

Check out your member guide

Your Summary of Benefits lists the medical services that are covered under your plan. It also details the levels of coverage provided for those services. Before you seek care from any providers, review your Summary of Benefits for details about your copayments, coinsurance amounts, and out-of-pocket maximum.

Understand your prescription drug costs

If your plan includes Part D prescription drug coverage, it’s important to review your plan's formulary. This way, you can make sure your prescription drugs are covered and you understand your copays and cost sharing.

Select and schedule your annual wellness visit with your primary care provider

Make choosing or confirming your primary care provider (PCP) a priority. Your PCP’s goal is to help keep you healthy and give you the best possible care. PCPs offer no-cost preventive care—including annual wellness visits and vital screenings—and can coordinate any additional services you need. You can choose or update your PCP on the UPMC Health Plan member site or app.

Review your recommended care

UPMC for Life covers most preventive services at 100 percent when you see a participating provider. Preventive screenings are important because they can help your health care provider detect diseases and conditions early, when they may be most treatable. Plus, you can earn rewards through the preventive care reward program for completing your annual wellness visit and other needed screenings.

Submit any necessary forms

Prior Authorization form: Some medications may require prior authorization before our plan will cover them. If you had an authorization for a medication through your previous plan, a new prior authorization will need to be submitted through your UPMC for Life. The prior authorization can be initiated by your prescriber, or you can submit an authorization request through the UPMC Health Plan member site.

Personal Representative Designation (PRD) form (PDF): This form lets you appoint another person to act on your behalf when discussing your health care coverage and benefit information. You can complete this form in the UPMC Health Plan member site or print the form and send it back to us.
See more forms about your coverage and benefits on the UPMC for Life website.
