Summary
UPMC is launching a voluntary LGBTQIA+ Affirming Provider designation program requiring providers to complete three learning modules, earn CME credits, and submit an attestation. Designated providers will receive a badge reel and pin to display in their office. This is an educational/credentialing initiative with no direct impact on billing codes, claims processing, or reimbursement.

Providers who wish to participate should: (1) Complete three UPMC learning modules on LGBTQIA+ affirming communication (non-UPMC-employed providers access via UPMC Health Plan patient resources page; UPMC-employed providers access via HR Direct Learning); (2) Submit attestation upon module completion; (3) Ensure provider is listed in appropriate UPMC provider directory. No claims processing, coding, or documentation changes are needed. No deadline specified.
