MERITAIN HEALTH

The Trust of a Strong National Company


The Meritain Difference

Employers should not have to choose between large, inflexible managed care companies who offer poor service but good cost management, and smaller TPAs who provide better, more personalized service at the expense of cost management capabilities. In both cases, service providers have generally done a poor job helping their clients plan to manage costs in the long term.
Meritain Health is committed to providing our clients with all of the services they expect, as well as the resources to help them manage the long-term costs of their health benefit programs. We understand that by having a focus on current and future healthcare costs, we provide the most value for our clients.

We also believe that having the size and strength to help clients govern short and long-term cost management programs does not diminish the importance of providing an excellent customer experience to our clients and their employees. To the contrary, we are committed to using our size and strength to offer our clients and members a personal, intimate and caring experience. Meritain Health is the country�s largest independent administrator of health benefit services. Meritain Health has over 25 years of experience serving clients of all sizes. Meritain Health is committed to using their size and strength to offer clients, and the million plus members, a personal and caring service experience.
