Speak up for Indiana families. Anthem plans to remove Medicaid from Meridian patients.

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.

What is “Whole-Person” Health?

Meridian Health Services recognizes the importance of creating the right harmonies in healthcare. So what does it mean when applied to the field of medicine? Meridian believes it means the future of healthcare.

We often hear about the connection between body and mind. But what if a healthcare provider integrated the two — not treating one without the other.

Understanding the synchronicity of the body and mind? What if they were in concert?The body would achieve a harmony for better healing and recovery.

That’s exactly how Meridian Health Services treats the people it sees. Not as separate ‘parts’ to be examined individually, but rather as a combination of interdependent elements that work together in harmony. Treating both the body and mind for total well-being. This provides patients a true “medical home” where treatments, medications, doctors and social workers are coordinated seamlessly to address the full spectrum of health.

Surrounding people with coordinated care that integrates physical, mental and social well-being creates a synergy of health services for happier, healthier patients.

Speak up for Indiana families. Anthem plans to remove Medicaid from Meridian patients.

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.

Stand up. Speak out. Help protect trusted care before it’s gone.

Speak up for Indiana families. Anthem plans to remove Medicaid from Meridian patients.

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.
