July 1, 2019 is a date many have feared. That's when the consent decree between Highmark, UPMC and the Pennsylvania departments of Health and Insurance goes away.The decree, agreed to five years ago, was always set to expire June 30.Pennsylvania's Supreme Court heard arguments from UPMC and Highmark on their impending split Thursday. Thursday's arguments focused on whether UPMC's consent decree with Highmark should end June 30. UPMC said that is a hard deadline and it cannot be changed. The Attorney General's Office said it can and should be changed to protect consumers in western Pennsylvania. An attorney for Highmark appeared in court to support the attorney general's position to extend the consent decree. It is unclear when the court will make its decision but it is likely to be in the next few weeks. Watch the report from Action News investigator Paul Van Osdol in Harrisburg above.
