Pittsburgh-based UPMC and health insurer Highmark have entered into an agreement regarding Highmark member access to Magee-Womens Hospital of UPMC for 2015, according to a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette report.
Under the agreement, women with Highmark health coverage will be able to deliver their babies at Magee-Womens Hospital if they learned of their pregnancies in 2014.
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf announced the agreement. "Highmark will continue to cover pregnancy and related care at Magee-Womens Hospital of UPMC in 2015, despite it no longer being in [Highmark's] network of providers," he said in a release.
The agreement will be in place until the end of September, according to the report.
