About the Company

H

Highmark Inc

Highmark provides millions of people with the security of quality health insurance

Our history of helping families and companies with their health insurance needs dates to the 1930s, when our predecessor companies were established to help Pennsylvania's residents pay for health care.

Highmark was created in 1996 by the consolidation of two Pennsylvania licensees of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association — Pennsylvania Blue Shield (now Highmark Blue Shield) and Blue Cross of Western Pennsylvania (now Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield). We are now one of the largest health insurers in the United States.

Highmark's officers and board of directors set the company's strategic direction and corporate policies. They are guided by our mission, vision and values.
