Leaving the Network

Priority Health requires written notice, 90 days in advance, if you are retiring or closing your practice and/or leaving our provider network. Physicians or groups who choose to leave the Priority Health network will not be allowed to re-contract with the plan for 12 months, or until the next contract year, whichever is longer.

Failure to give us 90 days' notice may result in claims denials.
