Time to Start Thinking About Medicare Coverage

A Local Resource
As a local Medicare resource, we offer free educational meetings at area restaurants and have a variety of Medicare-related information available.


As you approach your 65th birthday, you may be thinking about your Medicare choices. We know that understanding Medicare can be challenging. That's why Priority Health would like to make Medicare easier for you.

We'll help you understand the differences between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans. We can assist you in sorting through the differences between Medicare Part A, B, C and D. As a local resource, we offer free educational meetings at area restaurants and have a variety of Medicare-related information available.

When it comes to Medicare, your health coverage shouldn't be a hindrance. Original Medicare may not provide the level of coverage you currently have or would like to have. We can help. Priority Health is contracted with the federal government to provide Medicare benefits1, and we offer plans that you can compare to Original Medicare.

Priority Health Can Meet Your Needs

We offer two Medicare Advantage plans and a Part D Prescription Drug Plan that provide affordable coverage that will make your life easier. These plans are fully supported by the outstanding customer service you've come to expect from us.

PriorityMedicareSM and PriorityMedicare PlusSM are Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug plans that are available within a 14-county service area2.

They combine medical benefits - such as doctor visits and hospital stays - with Part D prescription drug coverage. These two plans feature:
  • Access to your area's most trusted doctors and hospitals
  • Low copayments
  • Prescription drug coverage in the "donut hole" (PriorityMedicare Plus)
  • Virtually no paperwork
  • Worldwide coverage
  • Personal attention
PriorityMedicare Rx is a Part D Prescription Drug Plan that is available throughout the state of Michigan. It offers prescription drug coverage only (no medical benefits). Features include:
  • No deductible
  • Low copayments for prescription drugs, which could deliver significant annual cost savings
  • Access to more than 60,000 pharmacies in our network, including national chains throughout the U.S.
  • Mail-order service
No matter which PriorityMedicare plan you choose, they are all easy to use and just as easy to understand.
