Is a Narrow Network plan right for you?

Page last updated on: 3/17/25

What is a narrow network?

A narrow network consists of a group of doctors, hospitals, labs and outpatient facilities focused on providing care for their community at a lower cost. They provide all the regular benefits of traditional coverage while you receive care within a set health system network. If you seek care outside your narrow network, you are responsible for any out-of-pocket costs.

MyPriority® offers four narrow networks:

  • Bronson Healthcare Partners
  • Corewell Health West Michigan Network
  • Southeast Michigan Network
  • Trinity Health East Network

Jump to see where our Narrow Network plans are offered and which hospitals and providers are in these networks.

What are the benefits of a Narrow Network plan?

A Narrow Network plan allows members to enjoy a lower monthly premium while accessing quality care. You also know you're getting local and community-oriented care while saving on your monthly premium.

With a MyPriority Narrow Network plan, you don't need a referral to see an in-network specialist and have access to all in-network pharmacies. You also get the added benefits of a MyPriority plan, like chronic condition coverage, diabetes management, on-demand mental health support, global emergency assistance, hearing aid discounts and more.

Is a Narrow Network plan right for you?

A Narrow Network plan is an affordable option for individuals and families who live near a hospital system where a Narrow Network plan is offered.

If you aren't comfortable seeking care within your designated system or if you anticipate needing specialized care outside your area, a Narrow Network plan may not be the best fit.

How does a Narrow Network plan work?

Let's say you enroll in a Southeast Michigan Network Narrow Network plan.

  1. Your primary care provider (PCP) will be part of the Southeast Michigan Network. If you don't have a PCP or your current one is not in the Southeast Michigan Network, a new PCP will be assigned to you.
  2. When receiving medical services, you will visit a specialist, hospital, lab or outpatient facility that is in-network within the Southeast Michigan Network.
  3. You won't need a referral from Priority Health to see a specialist, as long as they are within the Southeast Michigan Network.
  4. You can use any in-network pharmacy.
  5. If you choose to receive care outside the Southeast Michigan Network, you will be responsible for any out-of-network costs. Emergency services are covered at the in-network level.

How do I know if my provider is in-network?

Your PCP may already be in-network in a Narrow Network plan. If they're not, you can find a new one, or one will be assigned to you.
