What does it mean to be Partners in Care?

Care and insurance go hand in hand. To access the best possible care, you need high-quality insurance. When your doctors and insurance work together, everyone is on the same page about what is best for your health. This allows you to get the right care in the right place, at the right time. It also helps prevent unnecessary tests and procedures, which can improve your experience and reduce the cost of your care.

Why coordinated care matters

• Both your doctors and your insurance have the same goal: to keep you as healthy as possible. When we share this goal and have access to the same information about your health, you get better health care.

• Your doctor leads your care team and gets amazing support from everyone else involved in your care including the care management team at UPMC for Life. This helps all the people working on your care to focus on you as a patient, to coordinate the care you receive, and to make sure we have excellent, continuous communication about what you need.

• Your health care team works to combine the health care expertise and resources of UPMC with your Medicare coverage so you can get the right care for you, when you need it. And your UPMC for Life Medicare plan gives you coverage for the services you need at an affordable cost.

• Think of it as a team where everyone is focused on your health care:

  • Primary care providers

  • Specialists

  • Behavioral health

  • Hospitals/Outpatient facilities

  • Labs

  • Diagnostic facilities

  • Skilled care

  • Home health care

  • Pharmacies
    
    

• UPMC for Life (your Medicare Advantage insurance plan) provides you with coverage for doctor office visits and gives you access to services that help you manage your health including care managers, health coaches, and Health Care Concierges.

When your doctors and insurance work together, everyone is on the same page about what is best for your health.
