The Connection to Living Health

VBC plays an essential role in Highmark’s Living Health model and health care transformation by aiming to lower costs for our members while delivering faster, aligned, and proactive care through more coordinated efforts between the payor and the provider.

“Our strategy emphasizes shared accountability for patient outcomes and expenses with our network providers,” said Margaret Haney, Vice President of Strategic Integration. “We are equally committed to collaborating with physicians and hospitals across Highmark’s footprint to help all providers thrive in value-based care.”

By watching the VBC 101 series, you’ll learn more about our Living Health model, the tools and resources that Highmark has to offer to assist you in this transformation, and thoughts for the future for value-based care.
