Our tried and true PPO, PriorityMedicare Merit offers a low in-network medical deductible, a low out-of-network coinsurance and low out-of-pocket maximum.

Our Medicare Advantage plans include the benefits you need, plus the extras you want. Like preventive dental services and routine vision and hearing coverage, including hearing aids and a $100 eyewear allowance. Plus, a free gym membership or home workout options.
