What are the next steps?
You can talk to your doctor to ask if this change impacts you. If there are new restrictions or your drug has been removed, there may be other medications you can take instead. There are two ways that you or your doctor can find other medications covered by Meridian:
- Look on our website at mimeridian.com. Under “Select Your Plan” choose Meridian Medicaid plan. Under “Benefits and Services” choose Pharmacy. Click on the link “Formulary Search” to search for a medication. The search tool shows covered medications with any restrictions that may apply.
- Call Member Services at 888-437-0606 (TTY: 711). Our phone lines are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
We are here to help.
Sincerely,
Meridian
