What is Meritain?
Meritain is not the employee health insurance company. Sarasota Memorial Health Care System offers self-insured health plans to its employees. SMHCS contracts with Meritain, a third party payor, to pay the healthcare claims generated by the employees and their dependents.
You should contact Meritain for assistance with the following questions:
- Do I need an Authorization?
- Is this procedure, product, treatment covered under the Plan?
How to reach Meritain
Always refer to the phone numbers listed on the back of your insurance card or go to Meritain for more information.
We encourage all SMHCS employees to use the Meritain website for accessing information regarding eligibility and claims processing status.
