A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.
Proverbs 13:40

Highmark website member portal
Please be reminded that we are currently in an extended plan year regarding healthcare benefits, which will continue through October 31. Your medical plan benefits, including deductibles, will not reset until November 1.
However, it has been brought to our attention that the Highmark website is not reflecting this continuation of benefits and shows that deductible balances have returned to $0, effective July 1.
We have been assured that this is NOT an accurate reflection of how your claims are being processed. Highmark must manually adjust their system to accommodate this arrangement, which is not reflected currently when you login to your member portal. They are working on updating the website.
