iPhone app now available

Priority Health is the first in its industry to come out with a mobile ID card app, which is now available on the iPhone App Store.  The mobile app, entitled "Priority Health Member," provides members with access to an electronic version of their ID card.  It is the first app to go live for the company and will be followed by apps for the BlackBerry and Android operating systems in the coming months.

The app enables members to view an image of their ID card and send it electronically to their health care provider's office. It also enables the member to view contact information for his or her primary care physician with one-touch-calling capability. Members can also see a list of dependents and contact information for the Priority Health Customer Service department.

This new tool is available for all Priority Health employer groups and individual members. It will require a one-time login with a request for a PIN. After the initial setup is complete, members will only need their PIN to access their ID card.

More information about Priority Health's suite of smartphone apps can be found on priorityhealth.com. The site also provides an online demo of how the iPhone app works. Watch it now.
