What is a copay?
A copay is a fixed amount for a covered service, paid by the patient to the provider of service, before receiving the service.
You might have a copay of $20 every time you visit your primary care physician or if you see a specialist, your copay might be higher, such as $50 per visit.
With the UPMC First Care™ plan, the copay amounts for your 1st PCP and your 1st Specialist visits would be $0 for your plan year.

Convenient, low-cost health insurance for individuals and families
1UPMC Health Plan members who are in Pennsylvania at the time of a virtual visit may select a UPMC employed provider, subject to availability and discretion of the provider. Members located outside of Pennsylvania at the time of service will receive care from a provider employed or contracted by Online Care Network II PC (OCN), also known as Amwell Medical Group. OCN is not an affiliate of UPMC. Limitations may apply for members of ASO plans that have opted out of coverage. Providers are not available to treat members who are in Puerto Rico. This health insurance policy may not cover all of your health care expenses. Read your contract or member handbook carefully to determine which health care services are covered. For more information, contact your producer or account manager or call 1-833-825 2696 (TTY: 711).
2Preventive care will covered at 100 percent only when it is received from participating provider and it is billed as preventive. A separate cost share may apply if additional medical services are received during the same visit or if your preventive care appointment becomes diagnostic in nature.
