Benefits described on these pages give a general overview of the benefits available through UPMC. They represent the standard benefits for most UPMC staff members, but may not be applicable to all staff. Some business units have unique benefit programs. Additionally, certain job classifications may affect benefit eligibility. Physicians and members of collective bargaining units should refer to the terms of their contracts for information regarding their eligibility for UPMC benefits. Specific benefit-related questions should be directed to the UPMC Employee Service Center at 1-800-994-2752, option 3
Grandfathered Group Health Plan Status
UPMC believes the group health plan provided under the UPMC Welfare Benefits Plan is a “grandfathered health plan” under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). As permitted by the PPACA, a grandfathered health plan can preserve certain basic health coverage that was already in effect when that law was enacted. Being a grandfathered health plan means that your UPMC group health plan may not include certain consumer protections of the PPACA that apply to other plans. However, grandfathered health plans must comply with certain other consumer protections in the PPACA, for example, the elimination of lifetime limits on benefits. Questions regarding which protections apply and which protections do not apply to a grandfathered health plan and what might cause a plan to change from grandfathered health plan status can be directed to the plan administrator at 1-800-994-2752, option 3. You may also contact the Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor at 1-866-444-3272 or www.dol.gov/ebsa/healthreform. This website has a table summarizing which protections do and do not apply to grandfathered health plans. |
