Highmark/UPMC Meetings
Informational meetings will be conducted regarding the contract between Highmark and UPMC. Representatives from both organizations and PASSHE will address the current situation and how it may impact your coverage.
The issue of concern is: If the provider contract expires on December 31, 2014, PASSHE employees and their dependents who have Highmark insurance (Highmark PPO Blue or Highmark Indemnity – Comprehensive Major Medical) will not have in-network access to most UPMC hospitals and physicians who will be classified as "non-participating providers".
Two meetings will be held on October 15, 2014: the first one beginning at 9:00 a.m. and the second one at 1:00 p.m. After each meeting, you will have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with the representatives. More information will be provided at a later date.
These meetings will take place in the South Wing of the Convocation Center.
If you have any questions you may contact Diana Balla at extension 4427 or e-mail balla@calu.edu.
