Summary
UPMC for Life is continuing their 2026 Preventive Care Rewards Program, which incentivizes eligible members to complete covered preventive services including annual wellness visits, cancer screenings, health assessments, and diabetic retinal exams. Billing teams should ensure proper tracking and documentation of these preventive services to support member eligibility for rewards and optimize claim processing.
Action Required
Billing team should: (1) Review the covered preventive services list (annual wellness visit, breast cancer screening, colorectal cancer screening, health assessment, diabetic retinal eye exam) to ensure proper coding and documentation; (2) Verify that claims for these services are submitted with appropriate modifiers or documentation indicating preventive care status to support member rewards eligibility; (3) Cross-reference member eligibility with UPMC for Life plan verification to confirm participation in the rewards program; (4) Communicate with clinical staff to ensure providers document completion of preventive services accurately, as this supports both billing accuracy and member reward tracking. No prior authorization changes or new billing codes are introduced by this announcement.
