Highmark Health cuts 47 more jobs, including some in Buffalo

BUFFALO, N.Y. — As signage goes up for Highmark Western and Northeastern New York’s new offices at Seneca One, the Buffalo-based health plan confirmed there will be a dozen fewer employees moving.

The company issued layoff notices to 12 employees last week, including members of the provider relations and provider operations teams who work with area physicians.

The cuts were among 47 in several markets made by Highmark Health of Pennsylvania, the Pittsburgh-based company that affiliated with the former HealthNow NY in 2021.
