Highmark extends waiver of deductibles etc. for COVID-19 hospitalizations through Sept. 30

Highmark will extend its special coverage of COVID-19 costs through Sept. 30, the nonprofit insurer announced Wednesday.

That coverage includes waiving cost-sharing such as deductibles, coinsurance and copays

* for members who require in-network, inpatient hospital care for COVID-19

* and for "all covered telehealth services."

However, the waiver may not apply for people whose employers self-fund health insurance but use Highmark for some services — which typically happens with mid-size to large companies.
