Priority Health

Priority Health is committed to providing access to behavioral health services for our members - including our employer groups and their employees. One way we keep this commitment is through the continuous expansion of our provider network. Over the past three years, we have added more than 7,000 mental health providers, including 1,800 this year alone. In observance of this year’s World Mental Health Day, we’re pleased to announce two more mental health providers, Backpack Healthcare and FOLX Health, to our network – creating more access to behavioral health support through virtual visits. https://shorturl.at/jGuh4

For years, Priority Health has partnered with Corewell Health and other physician networks to create alternative payment models, or APMs. Also known as value-based care, these APMs reward doctors who focus on keeping their patients healthy beyond treating the illness at hand. This approach can help patients avoid serious illness, while also reducing costs for everyone. Learn more about how our approach to value based care with Corewell Health has generated more than $100 million in savings. Learn more. https://ow.ly/HQ9K50TG986
