- When you become a member you will get all of your covered Medicare and Medicaid services from Meridian, including prescription drugs. You do not pay extra to join this health plan.
- Meridian will help make your Medicare and Medicaid benefits work better together and work better for you. Some of the advantages include:
- You will have a care team that you helped put together. Your care team may include doctors, nurses, counselors, or other health professionals who are there to help you get the care you need.
- You will have a Care Coordinator. This is a person who works with you, with Meridian, and with your care providers to make sure you get the care you need.
- You will be able to direct your own care with help from your care team and care coordinator.
- The care team and Care Coordinator will work with you to come up with a care plan specifically designed to meet your health needs. The care team will be in charge of coordinating the services you need. This means, for example:
- Your care team will make sure your doctors know about all medicines you take so they can reduce any side effects.
- Your care team will make sure your test results are shared with all your doctors and other providers.
