Summary
UPMCHealthPlan is enhancing their Provider OnLine authorization portal on April 18, 2025, with improved functionality including dynamic Type of Care selections, prior authorization requirement indicators, a 4-day authorization history view, and redesigned entry/inquiry pages. These are system enhancements to streamline the authorization submission process rather than changes to authorization policies or requirements.
Action Required
By April 18, 2025: Billing team and providers should familiarize themselves with the enhanced Provider OnLine portal. Review the quick reference guide and tutorial video available at https://www.upmchealthplan.com/providers/medical/announcements-updates/announcements/2025-announcements/2025-04-provider-online-enhancements. No system changes or billing workflow modifications are required, but staff should be prepared to use the new interface features for prior authorization submissions. Delayed adoption may result in inefficient authorization processing.
