Summary
UPMC Health Plan is offering a CME-accredited webinar on October 15, 2026, to educate providers on identifying patient advance directives and surrogate decision makers during admission. This is an educational opportunity, not a billing or coverage policy change. The webinar aims to improve care coordination and reduce family conflict through early identification of decision-making authority.
Action Required
No billing or workflow changes required. This is an educational announcement only. Optional action: Billing team leadership may encourage eligible providers to register for the October 15, 2026 webinar to improve admission documentation practices and reduce potential claim delays related to advance directive identification. Providers should verify their own CME eligibility before registering.
