As a member of a Priority Health Medicare Advantage plan you, or your appointed representative, have the right to access the following processes:

  • File a grievance (complaint)
  • Request a determination for coverage

These processes have been approved by Medicare, and each process has a set of rules, procedures, and deadlines that must be followed by us and by you.  Additional details can be found in Chapter 9: If you have a problem or complaint (coverage decisions, appeals, complaints) of your plan’s Evidence of Coverage. If you have questions or need assistance with these processes, you can call the Customer Care team.
