Priority Health, the Grand Rapids-based Michigan health insurer, offers commercial and Medicare Advantage plans to residents in Livingston and Oakland counties. Balance Foot & Ankle participates in Priority Health’s network for most commercial and Medicare Advantage plan designs, allowing members to access our Howell and Bloomfield Township locations at in-network benefit levels. Priority Health PPO members can typically self-refer to a podiatrist without a PCP referral; Priority Health HMO members should verify referral requirements with their primary care provider before scheduling. Priority Health covers medically necessary podiatric services including office evaluation, diagnostic imaging, cortisone injection, custom orthotics (with prior authorization and medical necessity documentation), wound care, and surgical procedures.

Priority Health Medicare Advantage members in Livingston and Oakland counties benefit from podiatry coverage that mirrors traditional Medicare Part B with Priority Health-specific cost-sharing. The annual comprehensive diabetic foot exam is covered for qualifying diabetic members, medically necessary nail care is covered when systemic condition documentation supports it, and surgical podiatric care is covered with prior authorization. Priority Health members who want to know their expected cost-sharing for a specific podiatric service should call Balance Foot & Ankle at (810) 206-1402 — our insurance verification team reviews Priority Health benefits and provides a cost estimate before your appointment. Appointments at our Howell and Bloomfield Township offices are available for Priority Health members with urgent foot conditions.

Patients covered under this plan who are uncertain about network participation or authorization requirements for specific services are encouraged to call Balance Foot & Ankle at (810) 206-1402 before scheduling. Our insurance team verifies benefits for every new patient — confirming in-network status, identifying specialist cost-sharing, and flagging any prior authorization requirements for planned procedures. This verification call is free and typically takes less than 5 minutes, eliminating the uncertainty that leads many patients to defer necessary foot care. Appointments are available in Howell and Bloomfield Township for most foot and ankle concerns.

Michigan patients with this insurance coverage who experience foot pain, nail problems, or any foot condition that has been bothering them should not wait for symptoms to worsen before scheduling. Early evaluation at Balance Foot & Ankle almost always results in a conservative treatment plan that costs far less and requires far less recovery time than the surgical or advanced care that deferred conditions eventually require. Both our Howell office at 4330 E Grand River and our Bloomfield Township office at 43494 Woodward Ave #208 offer convenient access for Livingston and Oakland county patients. Call (810) 206-1402 today.
