PITTSBURGH (Nov. 26, 2019) – Just in time for open enrollment and the busy holiday shopping season, a new Tower Health-UPMC Health Plan Connect Center recently opened inside Berkshire Mall in Wyomissing, Pa. to help consumers with their health insurance questions.

Individuals and current members seeking information about Medicare, Medicaid, Marketplace, Commercial, Special Needs Plans (SNPs), and Children’s Health Insurance Program plans (CHIP) can meet one-on-one with trained sales and service associates at the new location, which is open seven days a week during regular mall hours. Representatives will answer questions about health care plans, help individuals select the right plan, and enroll new members.
