About Us
Local, innovative, trusted pioneers in the delivery of equitable care.
We care above all else about improving the health and quality of life of our members at every stage of life. We live our values, which inspire us to grow, collaborate, and innovate every day to improve the health of humanity going beyond just medical care to provide tangible solutions to health-related needs such as food access and affordable housing, which can be more critical than clinical care itself to health and wellbeing.
Whole Health
We partner with schools, providers, and community-based organizations to address physical, behavioral, and social needs to improve health, affordability, quality, equity, and access for individuals and communities. Our mobile health partners provide general health screenings, maternal care, and school-based vision exams for children right in your neighborhoods to make staying well easier.
Equitable Care
We believe everyone has a right to the best care so they can thrive and live the healthiest lives possible. We are working toward addressing disparities in both urban and rural communities across Michigan, mindful of the unique needs of each population. We are committed to reducing maternal/infant disparities because every life is precious. In addition to our low-birth weight program targeting African American women across the state, we also offer Start Smart for Your Baby®, a program supporting all women before, during, and after their pregnancy journey. We also offer doulas to ensure culturally competent care and support for our members.
Affordable Plans
We offer health insurance plans for all stages of life through Meridian (Medicaid), MeridianComplete (Medicare-Medicaid Plan or MMP), Wellcare (Medicare), and Ambetter from Meridian (Health Insurance Marketplace). Our plans offer exceptional 24/7 phone support and nurse advice lines, preventive services, annual wellness exams, dental, prescription drugs, non-emergent transportation, and more.
Broad Network
We’ve been trusted partners since 1997. We support our broad network of healthcare providers with data, insights, and tools they need to deliver high-quality care for our members. We’re shifting the focus of healthcare from higher volume to higher quality through our value-based care model, which incentivizes providers who listen to you and optimize patient outcomes.
Award-Winning Service
We are honored to have received the prestigious Bronze Stevie® Award for Sales & Customer Service category in the 18th annual Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service. This achievement is a testament to both our operations and customer solution teams’ dedication to delivering exceptional service and ongoing commitment to our members and providers’ success.
Accredited with Distinction
We are health-equity accredited and have an LTSS distinction with NCQA. NCQA’s Health Equity Accreditation evaluates how well an organization complies with standards in the following areas: organizational readiness; race/ethnicity, language, gender identify and sexual orientation; access and availability of language services; practitioner network cultural responsiveness; culturally and linguistically appropriate services programs; and reducing health care disparities.
Rewards Program
We reward members for taking care of their health. Our Healthy Rewards Program called My Health Pays® rewards members for completing activities such as yearly wellness exams, annual screenings, test and other exams to protect their health. Members can also use these rewards to help pay for utilities, transportation, phone service, childcare, education, and rent.
