Highmark is opening four more of its retail insurance stores, after about 10,000 people visited each of its two existing stores since they opened in March 2009.
Health insurer Highmark has announced the availability of individual dental insurance at its two direct-to-consumer stores in Pittsburgh and Mechanicsburg, Pa.
As a direct result of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) – also known as ObamaCare – health insurance agent and broker commissions have been slashed by as much as 50%. Agencies have been forced to lay off employees, limit products and services, shift to other lines, and have seen significant drops in compensation.
