Using your plan's health care provider network
Your plan comes with a Michigan network
Priority Health signs agreements with doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, laboratories and other health care providers to offer their services to our members. These health care providers can sign up to care for our HMO plan members, our PPO plan members, our Medicare plan members, etc., or members of all our plans - or, they can choose to offer services through only one of our plans.
Your plan has a national network, too
When you live or travel outside Priority Health's Michigan service area, you're covered by one or more of our national partner networks. Use our online Find a Doctor directory to locate them, or call the number on the back of your ID card.
In-network vs. out-of-network
In-network or preferred network: Health care providers who have signed an agreement to care for members of your Priority Health plan
Out-of-network or alternate network: Health care providers who have NOT signed an agreement to care for members of your Priority Health plan
When you use your plan's network, you save
Health care providers who have agreed to be part of your plan's network have also agreed to give Priority Health a discount on their services. That's why getting services from health care providers who are in your plan's network will cost you less than when you use health care providers who aren't. Depending on your plan, you may pay a smaller copay, or less coinsurance (20% instead of 30%, for example).
