As we approach National Doctors’ Day on March 30, we celebrate the thousands of physicians in our network whose commitment to medicine transforms the lives of our members. Thank you.

While all physicians practice in an increasingly challenging environment, those who treat Medicaid patients deserve special recognition. We extend our gratitude for their extraordinary dedication to patients whose health is often shaped by complex social and environmental factors.

Meridian is partnering with the National Council on Independent Living to help our network providers meet federal and state disability access standards through the Barrier Removal Fund. Grant applications may support physical or programmatic adaptations that improve access to services for members with disabilities. The deadline to apply is March 20.

One of the top reasons for claims denial is “member not eligible on date of service.” Providers are reminded to request member ID cards and verify eligibility at each encounter before rendering services. Now, members can instantly access their ID card through the Meridian mobile app, where they can also check benefits and complete health assessments.
