This email is intended for producers with business across the Highmark service area. HIGHMARK ASSISTING PARTICIPATING PROVIDERS IMPACTED BY CHANGE HEALTHCARE CYBER EVENT Change Healthcare (a healthcare technology company) recently announced they had been compromised by a cyber event. Change Healthcare disconnected its systems to prevent further impact, and as a result, some providers that use Change Healthcare services were prevented from processing and submitting prescription drug and medical claims to insurance companies – including Highmark – for payment.
Recognizing this, Highmark has launched an assistance program to provide funding advances for eligible participating providers who use Change Healthcare or one of its impacted companies and are experiencing cash flow concerns due to an inability to submit claims. Eligibility for assistance and amount of assistance will be determined based on a variety of factors including inability to use an alternate method to submit claims and current financial need.
