FAQs
How does a tiered network work?
How does a tiered network work?
Providers are separated into two tiers: Tier 1 and Tier 2. Priority Health partners with Tier 1 providers to help lower member costs. When employees choose care through a Tier 1 provider, they benefit from lower coinsurance, copays and deductibles.
Employees still have access to the entire Priority Health network through Tier 2 providers. However, when they receive care outside of the Tier 1 network, they generally pay a higher share of the cost for services.
All Tier 1 and Tier 2 providers meet our rigorous quality standards and share our commitment to care management and coordination.
