Emergency care

If a member is traveling and suffers from a life-threatening illness or injury, they should go to the nearest emergency department. In an emergency, members will receive the highest level of coverage, regardless of whether the facility participates in UPMC Health Plan’s network.

Urgent Care

A Health Care Concierge can help members find a participating urgent care center, convenience care clinic, or emergency department. The Health Care Concierge team is available Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Members should call 1-844-881-4146 or the phone number on the back of their member ID cards.

24/7 Video Visits

Members and their covered dependents, including children^†, can access high-quality care 24/7 using their computer or mobile device. These 24/7 video visits are best for nonemergency conditions, such as cold symptoms, allergies, or pink eye. Download the UPMC Health Plan app, go to the Care tab, and select 24/7 video visits to see a provider. If necessary, the provider can send a prescription to a pharmacy near the member.*

Assist America

Assist America provides global emergency travel assistance services. Members and their covered family members can use this service when they experience a medical emergency while traveling more than 100 miles from home—including to another country—for less than 90 days. Assist America can connect members to doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, and more.**
