Highmark hit with fine for workers' comp error

Pittsburgh-based insurer Highmark received a $145,000 fine from the Pennsylvania Insurance Department, according to a release.

The fine was the result of a filing error after a Highmark subsidiary was sold to a third party. The error resulted in companies being overcharged on workers' compensation premiums.

According to the release, the fine was part of a consent order between Pennsylvania and Highmark Casualty, an arm of Highmark that dealt with workers' compensation. Highmark Casualty was sold to West Virginia-based BrickStreet Mutual Insurance in 2016.
