Dear Meridian Employee,

If you are enrolled in Meridian’s medical insurance this alternative may be for you.  

We are excited to introduce a new initiative for Meridian Industries, Inc. employees and dependents, the Samaritan Fund Program.  This program aims to provide financial relief to those facing significant medical challenges and expenses or the burden of high-cost medications. Additionally, employees are not required to pay any fees to take part in the Samaritan Fund Program.

Participation in the Samaritan Fund Program is voluntary and entirely at your discretion.  Should you be deemed an ideal candidate, the program will assist in identifying a health plan that both you and your healthcare providers agree upon, then the Samaritan Fund Program will source you with funds from Samaritan Sponsors to pay for medical expenses.  Ultimately, the choice to participate is yours to make.

The application process for the program is confidential.  You will work directly with Samaritan Fund to discuss your specific situation and needs. To apply, complete the HIPAA authorization form using the link here --> Samaritan Fund HIPAA form. This form enables a representative from Samaritan Fund to contact you directly and assess whether the program is a suitable fit for your needs. 

If approved, we will assist you in enrolling in an individual health insurance plan along with sourcing financial assistance that should eliminate the entire cost of any deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses and includes full coverage of your monthly insurance premiums.

Applying and exploring this offering is straightforward.  The deadline to complete and submit your HIPAA form, is no later than Friday, October 25th. This form starts the process with Samaritan Fund and allows them to begin reviewing options with you.  It is important to note that you still have time to decide if this program is right for you.  The Meridian open enrollment closes November 20th, so this allows you additional time to review the Samaritan Fund resources and make changes to your Meridian group plan election.

Should you have any questions please feel free to reach out directly to the Samaritan Fund Program team at 866-764-9290 or via email at service@samaritanfundprogram.com.

Sincerely,

Meridian Industries, Inc.
