Making Maryland Medicaid Members Our Priority<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Priority Partners is a Maryland managed care organization that provides health care services through Medicaid, Maryland Children\u2019s Health Program (MCHP), and Medical Assistance for Families recipients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with Johns Hopkins Medicine, we work in partnership with seven Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) in Maryland. FQHCs provide community-based care for children and adults, regardless of ability to pay. FQHCs have a strong track record of improving health outcomes for low-income, underserved populations, and we are proud to be united in partnership to uplift the health and well-being of our communities.<\/p>\n\n\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t
