Holder, President and CEO of UPMC Health Plan, and President of the UPMC Insurance Services Division, writes in her President’s Letter. “Everything the UPMC Insurance Services Division does is designed to bring exceptional value to our customers.” In 2007, UPMC Insurance Services Division had another strong year of growth, with revenue increasing by $453 million (23.9 percent) to $2.3 billion.

UPMC Health Plan, the second-largest health insurer in Western Pennsylvania, is owned by the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC), one of the nation's top-ranked health systems. UPMC Health Plan was able to hold its administrative costs to approximately 8 percent of revenue, which is an industry best-practice performance.
