Your member ID card provides you with a lot more than just health coverage. In fact, the little card packs quite a punch. Take a look at what it means to be a UPMC for You member.
MyHealth Online
MyHealth OnLine is our members-only website for tips and tools for better health. You can find a doctor, email a nurse, and chat with a health coach who can help you manage conditions and meet your goals.
With online tools such as a personal health record, easy-to-use wellness programs, and detailed ways to search for providers, you are just a click away from great health information. Health resources such as activity trackers, health coaches, WebMD®, and more make MyHealth OnLine an interesting place to visit and explore.
In addition, you can access your benefit information (medical, pharmacy, vision, and dental) for the current and past years, and you can see your claim information for medical and pharmacy. You can print a temporary ID card or even change your PCP. MyHealth OnLine is available for members age 13 and older.

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.
