Appointment of Representative

You can ask our plan to provide a medical coverage decision if you are in any of the following situations:

• You are not getting certain medical care you want, and you believe this care is covered by our plan.
• Our plan will not approve the medical care your doctor or other medical provider wants to give you, and you believe this care is covered by the plan.
• You are being told that coverage for certain medical care you have been getting that we previously approved will be reduced or stopped, and you believe that reducing or stopping this care could harm your health.

Please refer to your Evidence of Coverage for complete details. You can access your Evidence of Coverage in the UPMC Health Plan member site, your secure member website, or through the UPMC Health Plan mobile app:
