PEORIA, Ill. — OSF HealthCare announced Friday that patients using Meridian Medicaid and Medicare plans will have to look for a new provider.
OSF issued a notice of termination, effective Dec. 15, due of provisions in the contract renewal with Meridian “that do not align with the Ministry’s current strategy,” a news release said.
“We have worked for months in good faith with Meridian to renegotiate contract language that includes acceptable provisions,” said Randy Billings, OSF HealthCare senior vice president of population health. “Unfortunately, we have not been able to reach agreement with Meridian.”
OSF HealthCare said patients can choose another Medicaid plan during the open enrollment period that is underway to remain in network.
