Using Health Insurance

Why you need health insurance

Where you can use it

Our individual and family plans include four network options so you can choose the network that works best for you. You will have full in-network access to all UPMC as well as other providers in your community. Click below to view your network options, depending on where you live:

At UPMC Health Plan, we're known for our network. Our network options include all the world-renowned hospitals of UPMC and many community hospitals in the region we call home. Our flexible plans adapt to your needs so you can choose the network that works best for you. You can even save money by narrowing down your hospital network to those locations where you will actually go. Why pay for what you don't need?
