To build the health of our community, UPMC has renowned centers of excellence in transplantation, cancer, neurosurgery, psychiatry, rehabilitation, geriatrics, and women’s health. But health care is not just about access to your doctor. It’s about having coverage for the health care services you need.
That’s why our UPMC providers continue to partner with UPMC for Life, UPMC Health Plan’s Medicare Advantage plan.
What Is Medicare?
Medicare is the federal health insurance program for people age 65 and older and for certain people who qualify as disabled. With a Medicare Advantage plan, you can pay less for your care, get more coverage, and have protection for large, unexpected health care costs. Plus, you get high-quality health care coverage for medical services and Part D prescription drugs.
- Original Medicare covers only about 80% of your medical costs – you are responsible for the rest
- You can save up to $1,640 a year on a Medicare Advantage plan over original Medicare*
