Paying your premium

Page last updated on: 3/19/25

You have several options for paying your monthly premium and/or Enhanced dental and vision package premiums. You can also change the way you pay at any time.

Set up recurring payments

There are two ways to set up recurring payments - through your bank account or with your Social Security check.

Pay with my bank account

Schedule monthly Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) payments from your personal bank account. It's secure, easy and convenient.

Set up your EFT by logging in to your  member account  and clicking  Pay My Premium. There you'll find the electronic funds transfer enrollment form.

Important things to know:

  • We will automatically debit the account you name on the form on the first day of the month.
  • You will no longer get a bill in the mail.
  • If your bank account does not have sufficient funds to cover your plan's premium payment, Priority Health reserves the right to charge a non-sufficient funds (NSF) fee up to the amount allowed by the state of Michigan, which is $25.

Send us an EFT request form by the 25th day of the month. Automatic premium payments will start on the first of the upcoming month.

We need 30 days advance notice.

Send your notice to:

Priority Health, MS 1190

1231 East Beltline NE

Grand Rapids, MI 49525

Or, call the Customer Service phone number on the back of your member ID card.

Pay with my Social Security Check

You can have your premium payment deducted straight from your monthly Social Security Administration (SSA) check.

Important things to know:

  • The Social Security Administration will start deducting your premiums the first of the month after acceptance of your request. 
  • You will need to pay any outstanding premiums prior to the month listed above by sending payment to:
    Priority Health
    3915 Momentum Place
    Chicago, IL 60689-5339
    Please include your payment coupon or write your subscriber ID on your check. 
  • The first time SSA deducts from your Social Security check can be up to three months' premiums. This is based on the time it takes for them to process the request.

If for any reason your request is not accepted or is delayed longer than three months, Medicare will stop your request. Priority Health will notify you and bill you directly for your premiums.
