Proven Diagnostics, a clinical diagnostic laboratory located in Bethlehem, Pa., announced today that it has signed a contract with Highmark, the largest health insurer in Pennsylvania.

Proven Diagnostics will provide comprehensive laboratory services to Highmark members. The agreement covers both clinical and anatomic pathology. Proven Diagnostics also has agreements with most other health plans in the region.

"We are very pleased to begin serving Highmark's members and providers," said Candice Miller, chief executive officer, Proven Diagnostics.
