Per Highmark’s most recent Fee Schedule and Pricing Methodology Update1, a new commercial standard professional fee schedule2 will be effective on October 1, 2021.

This update allows Highmark to:

  • Update our fee allowances based on industry research by leveraging different sources and data points, including changes the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) made to the 2021 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule.
  • Continue to bring closer alignment with Highmark’s value-based reimbursement strategies through uniform standard fees.
