Issue between insurance company and a hopsital chain. Cross with PA section

Those of you in western Pennsylvania know how Highmark insurance and UPMC corp ( a group of hosptials and even is an insurance company itself.) has basically have a falling out where UPMC won't take Highmark insurance and I am waiting for my boss to tell me more information about what our company will do considering half the hospitals--including the one in the town I live in are part of the UPMC network. It makes me worry about what I am going to do with this issue. I am paying $400.00 a month for an insurance that will probably not be taken my a hospital in case of an emergency.


Any suggestions?


OR am I going to be accused of being called a drama king again.

The school I work at is in a one hospital town, the town hospital is about to be kicked out of the health plan. I don't live there so I am less affected than they are, but I feel for them and you.
