UPMC COVID-19 Vaccine Information – issued directly to UPMC Employer Group Clients

UPMC has resurfaced their initiative to change how claims are adjudicated for clients that fall under 20 employees (with Medicare deemed Primary).  The following resources have been shared by UPMC.

UPMC Clients with 20 or fewer participants on their UPMC coverage are being contacted by UPMC via email or mail to notify them of their current Medicare Primary status and how it can impact Medicare eligible members.  In the communication, clients are provided guidance to attest (via online link) the Medicare Primary status if they have 20+ employees.  The attestation is the way to appeal for adjustment to Medicare Secondary Payer status in the system.  Be on the lookout for more on this topic from our NFP-BNGA Group & Medicare Team.
