Get ready for an enhanced experience accessing Highmark Value-Based Reimbursement (VBR) program news and resources. The existing Quality Blue Portal will be retired in late November 2025. Please continue to monitor the portal's Program News page for updates until then.
Consolidating VBR Information
To streamline access, all communications and resources for Highmark’s Quality Blue and True Performance programs will transition to a unified location within our Provider Resource Center (PRC) in 2026. This move is part of our initiative to create a centralized Communications Hub for all Highmark provider communications.
Transition Period Access – Starting Late November
Before VBR communications transition to the PRC, they will be available through the Provider Facing Analytics (PFA) platform via Availity Essentials > Highmark Payer Spaces:
- True Performance: Access communications within the Value Insight Center via Availity > Highmark Payer Spaces.
- Quality Blue Hospital: Program communications and manuals will be located in the Static Reports application during this transition. This will be your primary source for Quality Blue information until the 2026 replacement. To view reports: from the PFA landing page, choose Static Reports > Quality Blue Hospital Program > your Hospital Name.
We will also continue to utilize Provider News, the PRC, and email notifications for important updates. Watch your inbox for detailed instructions on accessing these temporary VBR communication sites.
We appreciate your cooperation as we develop a more robust and centralized communication solution for VBR and all provider-related information.
