"Because of the ongoing UPMC-Highmark contract dispute, and specifically the still-unresolved question of whether UPMC physicians will still be in Highmark's insurance network after June, Ms. Kusko has to prepare for the possibility that physician services for many school district employees may be subject to out-of-network fees after June. Because all but about 270 of the 5,000 district employees are now with Highmark, many may decide they need to switch rather than face higher costs to see UPMC doctors."
