A former employee sued Highmark in a proposed class-action lawsuit Tuesday, alleging the company did not pay nurses and care coordinators for overtime.
In the lawsuit, Lynn Cole, who worked as a care management nurse for Pittsburgh-based Highmark from June 2017 to September 2019, said that Highmark wrongly classified certain employees as exempt from federal and state overtime laws.
A Highmark spokesperson said the company just received the lawsuit and cannot comment on pending litigation.
The proposed class-action lawsuit, filed in federal court in Pittsburgh, alleges that Highmark was in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act and the Pennsylvania Minimum Wage Act.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield companies Highmark and HealthNow New York announced the finalization of their affiliation on Monday, a collaboration that they say will lead to better services and lower costs for their 6.5 million members.
Under the agreement, Pittsburgh-based Highmark, which serves members in Pennsylvania, Delaware and West Virginia, will acquire the Blue Cross and Blue Shield license that HealthNow maintains. Operationally, the deal looks like a merger, except that no money will change hands between the two not-for-profits. The combined company will be named Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield of Western New York and Highmark Blue Shield of Northeastern New York and will represent the fourth-largest Blues plan in the nation.
