An envelope containing information about your personal health needs that will assist emergency personnel who respond to your home. Installation of the Lifeline unit does not prevent you from using your telephone to make any of the long distance or local calls you normally make. Nor does Lifeline prevent you from receiving telephone calls. A telephone and a modular type phone connection are the only items required for Lifeline to be installed. If you do not have a modular type telephone, it is very possible that your present telephone can be converted to a modular type by a Lifeline coordinator.
All ages are welcome.
UPMC Passavant's Lifeline Program is a service to the community and therefore, is not subject to a length of time. You may lease the Lifeline for as long as you need it. Many insurance companies cover Lifeline on a case by case basis. Please contact the Lifeline coordinator for more information. At this time, Blue Cross, Blue Shield, and Medicare do not cover the cost of Lifeline.
