Meridian Health Plan of Illinois, Inc., a Centene Corporation subsidiary, has been selected by the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) to continue providing Medicare and Medicaid services for dually eligible Illinoisans. This will be through a Fully Integrated Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan (D-SNP).
The D-SNP program will offer services and support statewide for members who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid, including Managed Long Term Services and Supports (MLTSS) members, under a single managed care organization. The new contract is expected to begin on January 1, 2026, and run through December 31, 2029, with options for renewal up to 10 years.
Meridian has served members in Illinois since 2008 and is one of four health plans selected to deliver high-quality managed care services to 77,000 Medicare-Medicaid-eligible Illinoisans. Beginning in 2027, an additional 60,000 dually eligible MLTSS individuals will be included in the D-SNP plan.
