PITTSBURGH, Jan. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- UPMC Health Plan announced it has expanded both its UPMC for Life Medicare HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) and its UPMC for Life Specialty Plan into Cameron, Clarion, Elk, Forest, and McKean counties. The Health Plan also announced the expansion of its Medicare PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) into Clearfield and Greene counties.
"Expanding our footprint in Western Pennsylvania helps us continue to meet the health needs of our aging population," said Catherine Batteer, UPMC Health Plan's vice president for Medicare. "We are pleased to now serve seven additional counties, which brings the current service area for our Medicare and Special Needs plans to 25 counties in Western Pennsylvania."
