Highmark plan shift affects Jameson area hospitals
The November 2015 map lists many area hospitals including Jameson rical Hospital and UPMC affiliates in a standard tier. Following the UPMC Jameson-Highmark merger in May 2016, officials say the switch from enhanced to standard in the Highmark Community Blue Flex Health Plan was not initiated by Jameson or UPMC. Danko urged affected doctors and patients to complain. The plan change largely impacts those paying more out of pocket, while many seniors and employer-based groups remain largely unaffected.
