Information to help you help others in your community

UPMC Health Plan Marketplace


Welcome aboard, navigators and certified application counselors!

You have been tasked with the vital responsibility of educating people who are looking for insurance coverage on Pennie®, Pennsylvania’s health insurance marketplace.

One of the goals of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is making affordable health insurance available to as many people as possible. This can help people stay healthy and evenly spreads heath care coverage costs. You will distribute fair and impartial information about enrollment in qualified health plans and tell clients about the financial assistance that's available to them. You will also make them aware of other plan options like Medicaid, Medicare, and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).

UPMC Health Plan is here to assist you during the Open Enrollment period.* As you help your clients make the best decision about their health insurance, we can answer your questions about UPMC Health Plan coverage for individuals and families, how to buy marketplace plans in Pennsylvania, and more. Turn to this website for important information and resources throughout the Open Enrollment period.

If you cannot find the information you need on this website, please call UPMC Health Plan’s hotline for navigators and certified application counselors at 1-855-498-8762.**
