Dear Meridian Member,
Your health care and access to medications are a priority. On 9/1/2026, there will be changes to the Michigan Meridian Medicaid drug list. The preferred drug list (also known as the formulary) is a list of medications covered by your plan.
THE FOLLOWING DRUGS WILL HAVE A CHANGE IN STATUS STARTING ON 9/1/2026.
Drug Name | Changes |
Vesicare LS oral suspension (solifenacin succinate suspension) [5mg/5mL] | Removed from formulary (obsolete drug product as of 07/31/2025) |
Sitagliptin-metformin extended release (ER) tablets (generic for Janumet XR) [50-500mg, 50-1000mg, 100-1000mg] | Generic added to formulary as non-preferred Prior authorization required Note: Brand Name Janumet XR tablets remain preferred, no prior authorization required; brand name preferred over generic |
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
