• PriorityMedicare Edge^SM (PPO) - A $0 plan that doesn't break the bank and is available in select east and southeast counties in Michigan.
• PriorityMedicare Compass^SM (PPO) - The monthly premium for this plan is $0. This plan includes the benefits you need and want such as dental, vision, and hearing.
• PriorityMedicare Vital^SM (PPO) - The monthly premium for this plan is $0. This open network plan works like Original Medicare but offers so much more. Plus, a $360 per year part B premium credit.
