Orthodontic Medical Necessity Requirements
To comply with Essential Health Benefits dental program guidelines for Pennsylvania, UPMC Health Plan recommends that orthodontists complete something similar to the Orthodontic Decision Checklist (ODC) to determine medical necessity for enrolled members. Completing the ODC will help to ensure unnecessary treatment is not performed before the final medical necessity determination is made by UPMC Health Plan. All anticipated treatment phases with a total case fee Salzmann Index (reflecting a score of 25 or higher) If one of the questions 2-8 on the ODC is not a “yes” response, most likely the orthodontic case will not meet medical necessity. As a reminder, all orthodontic services for members require prior approval.

New Product Design - HMO
Members are required to select a PCP; the PCP helps members coordinate their care. Many services are not subject to the deductible, such as prescription drugs, PCP and specialist visits, and emergency care. Members must receive care from network physicians and facilities in order to receive coverage (unless they are traveling outside the service area). Preventive care is covered at 100 percent. The pharmacy benefit includes certain generic drugs at no cost to the member — select contraceptives, oral hypertensive agents, antibiotics, and some preventive medications.

New Benefit Design - First 3 Plan
The First 3 visits to the PCP are covered without the deductible applying Preventive care is covered at 100 percent All benefits are covered 100% after deductible with exception of the first 3 PCP visits and e-visits
