HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) – Under a new agreement, Highmark health insurance will maintain in-network access to UPMC hospitals in western Pennsylvania.
Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf thanked both health systems in an announcement Thursday. Wolf praised the rival companies for reaching the agreement following their 2014 contract. In-network access to UPMC facilities for Highmark patients had been set to expire in 2019.
