The health insurer has been growing its presence in Philadelphia, Bucks, Montgomery, Chester, Camden, and Gloucester counties.

“We are thrilled to add Jefferson Health to our provider networks in the Philadelphia region,” said Dan Tropeno, Highmark’s southeastern Pennsylvania segment president.

Jefferson Health operates 17 hospitals in southeastern Pennsylvania and South Jersey. The health system is the parent company for Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Einstein Healthcare Network, Abington-Jefferson Health, Jefferson Health Northeast, Jefferson Health New Jersey, and Magee Rehabilitation Hospital.
