Every day before lunch, 11-year-old Carter visits Meridian’s School-Based Health Clinic to help manage his diabetes – with a blood sugar check, a snack adjustment, and support form a nurse he trusts.
But on July 25, Anthem plans to remove Meridian Health Services from its Medicaid network, however, still keeping coverage for commercial and private pay patients.
That could put trusted school-based care at risk for children like Carter. For many families, these clinics help children stay healthy, stay in class, and avoid unnecessary trips to the emergency room.
This is more than a convenience. It is stability, safety, and peace of mind.
Stand up. Speak out. Help protect trusted care before it’s gone.

After years of living with schizophrenia, James finally found stability with therapy, medication, and Meridian providers who never gave up on him.
He started sleeping again. Kept his job. Rebuilt relationships with his family. But on July 25, Anthem plans to remove Meridian Health Services from its Medicaid network, however, still keeping coverage for commercial and private pay patients.
That could force patients like James away from the care teams they know and trust. For someone managing a serious mental illness, even a short interruption in care can put hard-earned progress at risk.
Mental healthcare is not optional. Continuity matters. Access matters.

Jeana is 18 weeks pregnant. For months, she has trusted a Meridian doctor who knows her history, eased her fears, and helped protect both her and her baby.
But on July 25, Anthem plans to remove Meridian Health Services from its Medicaid network, however, still keeping coverage for commercial and private pay patients.
Jeana could be forced to start over with a new provider – one who may be farther away and unfamiliar with her care. For moms on Medicaid, prenatal care is more than appointments.
It is trust, stability and peace of mind. No mother should fear losing trusted care because of an insurance decision.
Stand up. Speak out. Help protect trusted care before it’s gone.
