UPMC for Life uses clinical criteria to make coverage determinations. All of these clinical criteria are publicly available at the following links:
To comply with the CMS Interoperability and Prior Authorization final rule, UPMC for Life is required to annually report aggregated prior authorization metrics on our website. Specifically, this includes a list of all medical items and services (excluding drugs) that require prior authorization, as well as data on prior authorization requests for those items and services (approvals, denials, etc.) during the previous calendar year. Publicly reporting these metrics promotes transparency and accountability, helps patients understand prior authorization processes, and enables providers to evaluate payer performance. In addition, metrics can be used to compare plans, programs, and payers. For questions on the data below, call the UPMC for Life Health Care Concierge team.
