Since 2018, Priority Health and Cigna Healthcare have partnered to offer Priority Health commercial group members living or traveling outside Michigan access to Cigna Healthcare's nationwide network of providers through a Strategic Alliance.
What this means for you
- Cigna Healthcare commercial employer-sponsored group members and Cigna Healthcare affiliated members that get care in Michigan's lower peninsula can access the Priority Health preferred provider organization (PPO) network. This means other Cigna Healthcare Strategic Alliances with other health plans can access our network. ID cards will include the Priority Health on the front or back of the card. The alliance excludes Individual Family Plan (IFP) purchased form Cigna Healthcare or healthcare.gov and Medicare plans.
- If a patient presents an ID card with the Priority Health logo, they are covered under the Priority Health network. (Visit our FAQ for exceptions within Ancillary care.) However, claims for Cigna Healthcare members should be submitted to Cigna Healthcare, not Priority Health. Get details.
- Priority Health commercial group members that get care outside of Michigan have access to the Cigna Helathcare Open Access Plus® (OAP) network. All Priority Health member claims should be submitted to Priority Health, not Cigna Healthcare. Simply follow any instructions on the member ID card for submitting claims, submitting prior authorization requests or calling for assistance.
