The payor has purchased property in five municipalities, but Highmark officials declined to comment on specific plans for the land — much of which is near existing UPMC facilities, according to the report.

Highmark’s pending $475 million acquisition of West Penn Allegheny Health System in Pittsburgh still needs state approval.
