It is at the discretion of OCN providers to choose whether to treat patients ages 0 to 2. OCN is not an affiliate of UPMC. Limitations may apply for members of ASO plans that have opted out of coverage. Talk Therapy or Psychiatry services through UPMC Health Plan telehealth services are not covered services for UPMC Community HealthChoices participants, UPMC for You members, or UPMC for Kids members. 24/7 video visits for children ages 0-2 are not available from 9 p.m. to 8 a.m. or outside of Pennsylvania. If a member is under the age of 18, the member’s parent or legal guardian must be with the member during the video portion of the visit, and the child and parent or legal guardian must be in Pennsylvania during the visit.
