Highmark announces 2025 Affordable Care Act products in Western Pennsylvania

PITTSBURGH (November 1, 2024)—Highmark announced its Affordable Care Act (ACA) health insurance products in Western Pennsylvania for 2025, offering individuals and families high-quality, low-cost and convenient health coverage options to help them be at their best.

“There’s a reason that an all-time high of more than 21 million Americans have chosen ACA health insurance plans,” says Bill Tuthill, vice president of Federal Markets for Highmark. “From young adults leaving their parents’ health coverage, to older Americans transitioning from employer-based insurance, to millions of entrepreneurs just looking for a good health plan for a good price, the ACA has a plan for every lifestyle and need.”

Thousands of Highmark members and millions of consumers nationwide have benefitted from expanded ACA subsidies that lower what they pay for their coverage. Nearly 80 percent of Highmark’s ACA members in Pennsylvania qualify for subsidies or tax credits to make their coverage more affordable, and nearly 25,000 of our Pennsylvania members are enrolled in a plan with a premium of less than $5 per month after subsidy.

“We are proud that more Western Pennsylvanians are choosing Highmark, with our ACA membership in the region climbing from 6,000 in 2019 to more than 62,000 today,” says Ellen Galardy, president of Federal Business at Highmark. “We’re poised for continued growth with our health plans featuring low out-of-pocket costs, access to high-quality providers, and new solutions to make the health insurance experience better.”

With so much to offer, plus some of the lowest premiums in the region, more Western Pennsylvania consumers are choosing Together Blue. Total ACA membership in Together Blue has tripled since 2021, from about 10,000 to 30,000.

Highmark will also offer my Blue Access PPO plans in each of the 29 Western Pennsylvania counties that Highmark serves, providing individuals and families access to the broadest local and national network of doctors and hospitals, all without requiring referrals to see a specialist.
