Purchase UPMC First Care coverage

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.
