Priority Health is a Michigan-based plan serving communities across the Lower Peninsula, with provider networks, support teams and coverage designed around Michiganders.
MyPriority® plans build on that local foundation, offering access to trusted providers, support from teams who understand your region and coverage designed around how care actually works in Michigan.
Why choose a Michigan-based health plan?
A Michigan-based health plan focuses on the needs of people living in Michigan rather than applying the same approach nationwide.
What this means for you:
- Access to in-state doctors and hospitals
- Coverage designed around Michigan healthcare systems
- Support from teams who understand local rules and providers
What are the benefits of a Michigan-based plan?
1. Care close to home
Benefits include:
- Easier access to nearby doctors and hospitals
- Strong relationships with Michigan health systems
- Care options designed for how residents receive care locally
2. Care when you travel
While Priority Health plans are designed around care in Michigan, you're still covered for emergency care when you're away from home.
- Emergency care is covered when you need immediate medical attention.
- Students, adult children and other covered dependents who live outside your service area can still access covered care based on their plan benefits.
- Support and resources are available when you're away from home.
Narrow Network plans
If you have a Narrow Network plan, emergency care is covered when you’re outside your network area. For non-emergency care, you'll need to receive care from in-network providers.
Travel coverage
All MyPriority plans include Assist America ® emergency travel assistance services for members and covered dependents traveling more than 100 miles from home or internationally.
