Assistance for Highmark Wholecare Participating Providers Impacted by Change Healthcare Cyber Event

Highmark Wholecare continues to support providers affected by the recent Change Healthcare cybersecurity event. We understand that the cybersecurity event is impacting the ability for some providers to submit claims.

We have launched an assistance program to provide funding advances for eligible participating providers that use Change Healthcare or one of its impacted companies and are experiencing cash flow concerns due to an inability to submit claims. Eligibility for assistance and amount of assistance will be determined based on a variety of factors including inability to use an alternate method to submit claims and current financial need.

Providers can submit a form for consideration. The form can be found in Highmark’s Payer Spaces in Availity. If you do not have Availity access, you may register for Availity access here.

If you are approved for a funding advance, an agreement with terms will be sent to you for signature. The funding advance will be subject to the terms outlined in that agreement including repayment obligations.

The assistance program will be limited in duration and only continue until claims volumes reach acceptable levels.

Providers who use clearinghouses other than Change Healthcare or one of its impacted companies are not eligible for the assistance program.
