Pontiac General Hospital is no longer part of the Priority Health network
Pontiac General Hospital in Pontiac, Michigan, is no longer in-network for Priority Health members of any plan type. This change is retroactively effective back to Nov. 24, 2024.
Why was Pontiac General Hospital terminated from our network?
Pontiac General declared bankruptcy after announcing the loss of Medicare funding on Nov. 24, 2024. CMS pulled funding for the hospital after finding it repeatedly out of compliance in multiple areas. Because Pontiac General does not meet quality standards, they're no longer in network.
What is the provider impact of this change?
Do not refer Priority Health members to Pontiac General Hospital, as these members may see higher costs for non-emergency treatment received there.
