Highmark is expanding our Joint Administration Solutions (JAS) model to include the Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield of Western New York and Highmark Blue Shield of Northeastern New York service areas beginning January 1, 2023.
JAS will partner with Third Party Administrators (TPAs) to create a shared services network for self-funded clients within PPO Blue Products.
JAS is currently partnering with HealthNow Administrative Services (HNAS) for this network but will likely expand to other TPAs in the future.
The phone numbers you call for help with prior authorizations, customer service, and provider services may be different than the number you use for other Highmark members. These numbers are available on the back of the member’s ID card as well as in NaviNet® .
Member ID cards for the JAS network will look different than other Highmark ID cards:
