Advanced Illness Care is a home-based program for UPMC Health Plan members who have a serious or advanced illness.
It helps people 21 years of age or older to better cope with their illness and maintain the highest quality of life possible.

This team can work with the patient's physician to assist with managing the patient's comfort, decision-making related to care based on the patient's goals and values, providing emotional support, and exploring additional resources to help with care.
