By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Managed Care Weekly Digest -- For the first time, UPMC for Life - the Medicare Advantage product of UPMC Health Plan - will offer high quality plans at premium costs that are among the lowest in Susquehanna County (see also UPMC Insurance Services Division).

UPMC for Life is offering four HMO plans in 2018 - starting as low as $0 premium per month - so that Medicare-eligible members can choose the one that best suits their needs.

All UPMC for Life Medicare Advantage members will have access to a provider network that includes over 25,000 doctors and 155 hospitals in Pennsylvania, including the doctors and hospitals of UPMC and UPMC Susquehanna. That means members get in-network access to local providers and health care facilities such as Muncy Valley Hospital, Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hospital, Williamsport Regional Medical Center, and Divine Providence Hospital. For nearly 20 years, UPMC has been one of the top-ranked hospitals in the nation.*

All UPMC for Life HMO plans maintain an "Excellent" accreditation from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), the highest honor a managed care plan can receive.

UPMC for Life Medicare Advantage members can also benefit from UPMC Health Plan's Health Care Concierge program. Concierges are customer service representatives who are knowledgeable about Medicare and are dedicated to answering members' questions and to getting their problems solved with just one phone call.
