The new contracts are with  Sellersville, Pa.-based Grand View Health and Doylestown (Pa.) Health, according to the report. 

The systems join Philadelphia-based Temple Health and Penn Medicine, which signed contracts with Highmark earlier this year, according to the report. 

Dan Tropeano, Highmark’s segment president for southeastern Pennsylvania, told the outlet the insurer is on track to begin providing small and large group health insurance in the region on Jan. 1 and is targeting 2025 to introduce Medicare Advantage and Medicaid/Medicare dual eligible plans.

At the Becker's 5th Annual Fall Payer Issues Roundtable, taking place November 2–3 in Chicago, payer executives and healthcare leaders will come together to discuss value-based care, regulatory changes, cost management strategies and innovations shaping the future of payer-provider collaboration.
