At the hearing, which begins at 7 p.m. EST, state regulators will hear comments from interested parties on the planned reorganization, which would create a parent company called Ultimate Parent Entity to serve as an umbrella organization for Highmark’s insurance operations and West Penn Allegheny Health System.
