UPMC AnywhereCare
With UPMC AnywhereCare*, members can have a video visit with a UPMC provider from a computer, tablet, or smartphone—day or night. This convenient, time-saving service works well for colds, the flu, sore throats, rashes, and other nonemergency conditions. The UPMC AnywhereCare telemedicine platform also offers care specifically for children through UPMC Children’s AnywhereCare**. This service allows newborns to 17-year-olds to have virtual visits 24/7 with UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh providers over live video. Pediatric care specialists can diagnose, provide treatment options, and prescribe medication for many nonemergency illnesses.
*UPMC for You members who are in Pennsylvania at the time of a virtual visit may select a UPMC-employed provider, subject to availability and discretion of the provider. Members temporarily traveling outside of Pennsylvania at the time of service will receive care from a provider employed or contracted by Online Care Network II PC (OCN), also known as Amwell Medical Group. OCN is not an affiliate of UPMC. UPMC AnywhereCare virtual visits are not covered services for UPMC for You members using Talk Therapy or Psychiatry services. Providers are not available to treat members who are in Puerto Rico.
**UPMC Children’s AnywhereCare is available only to patients who are in Pennsylvania. In order for a child to have a UPMC Children’s AnywhereCare visit, the child’s parent or legal guardian must be with the child during the video portion of the visit, and the child and parent or legal guardian must be in Pennsylvania during the visit. If a child is located outside of Pennsylvania at the time of service, their parent or legal guardian may select the standard UPMC AnywhereCare module, and the child will receive care from a provider employed or contracted by Online Care Network II PC (OCN), also known as Amwell Medical Group, at the discretion of the provider. OCN is not an affiliate of UPMC. Providers are not available to treat members who are in Puerto Rico.
