Highmark and US Digestive Health Reach Multi-Year Agreement

October 10, 2024

Highmark recently came to an agreement with US Digestive Health (USDH), a large gastroenterology practice with more than 40 locations in Delaware and Pennsylvania. USDH was previously out-of-network with Highmark, but we have now reached a multi-year contract, bringing them back into the network.

What do I need to know?

  • Impact on Members: Members who received services from USDH while it was out-of-network may be eligible for reimbursement. USDH and Highmark will both work to process these claims.
  • New Contract: The terms of the new contract are confidential, but Highmark has worked to limit cost increases for members and clients.
  • Member Communication: Highmark will send letters to members who were previously notified of USDH’s out-of-network status by October 4, 2024. A sample letter can be found here.

What do I need to do?
Inform your clients about the new agreement and the potential impact on their members who may have used USDH services.
