Priority Health, a nationally recognized nonprofit health plan serving more than 1.3 million members, and Curai Health, a leading virtual care provider, are extending their program to provide free virtual health visits for uninsured residents in Michigan.
The partnership to offer free virtual visits began in August 2024 for Michigan residents 18 and older who are without health coverage – an estimated 400,000 people. Originally scheduled to be offered through December 31, uninsured residents will now be able to take advantage of free virtual health visits through June 30, 2025.
“With the success of this initiative and more residents learning about it each day, extending free virtual visits for an additional six months will give more people the opportunity to access the care they need,” said Praveen Thadani, president/CEO of Priority Health. “This initiative seeks to address delayed care and poor health outcomes that can result from the lack of health coverage, promote access to care and remove some of the barriers that prevent people who are uninsured from getting the care they deserve.”
Nicole Bell, chief commercial officer at Curai Health, said: “We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Priority Health during 2025 to provide free virtual care to Michigan residents without health insurance. What a terrific example of Priority Health pioneering solutions that bridge gaps in access and affordability. Our engagement will deliver high-quality care while removing financial hurdles.”
Curai Health’s patient care teams, led by dedicated, specially trained licensed clinicians, are supported by artificial intelligence. Curai Health empowers providers with information to deliver better health care, from streamlining information gathering and clinical documentation to providing up-to-date medical knowledge. The company also prioritizes safety and accuracy with a human-in-the-loop approach that provides clinical oversight and expertise, including making diagnoses and final treatment decisions.
Users can connect with a virtual care provider from their phone or computer to address their health concerns. It starts with a visit to priorityhealth.com/freevirtual for a special access code. Once the code is received, users can visit Curai Health’s website (CuraiHealth.com) or download the Curai Health app to start their virtual visit.
The virtual visits do not include the cost of prescribed prescriptions or recommended medical care outside Curai Health’s virtual visit, or the cost of other services such as labs, specialist visits, surgeries or other medical care or incidentals.
