ely a part of that village. She first signed up with the health plan when she became pregnant with her daughter, Sophia. Regular prenatal check-ups lead to the discovery that Jean had gestational diabetes. But the diabetes didn’t go away after Sophia was born. As a new mom, Jean was hesitant to take medications. So she asked her Doctors if she could try to control her diabetes with lifestyle and diet changes instead. They agreed and set her up with a nutritionist and a company that mails glucose testing strips directly to her home. “My Doctors actually listened to my concerns and were very supportive,” the 41-year-old Rancho Cucamonga resident said. “It meant a lot to me because it showed they weren’t just treating my condition, they were treating me – the person.” When Jean struggled with behavioral health issues, her Doctors listened to her again. IEHP approved referrals for a therapist and continues to approve them as needed. Jean said she noticed a huge difference after attending sessions regularly. “If you’re not okay emotionally, then you can’t be okay physically,” she explained. And Jean added that Sophia’s Doctors are just as amazing as hers. Getting immunizations, check-ups and medicines for her 5-year-old are never an issue. And that goes a long way toward keeping both mom and daughter healthy and happy. “They know us by name whenever we go into the office for an appointment,” she said. “They’ve seen my daughter grow up and it’s like they’re part of our family now. Everyone there and at IEHP are taking very good care of us.”  

es a huge impact on quality.  “Our partnership with IEHP means that our patients can get the care they need, when they need it,” said Dr. Lohr, who specializes in Family Medicine and is the CEO of SAC Health System.  SAC Health System has five sites in both Riverside and San Bernardino counties and sees about 12,000 visits per month – 90 percent of which are covered under IEHP. Specialists are housed under the same roof which results in more efficient referrals, quicker follow-up appointments and limits unnecessary testing.  Unless, a Member can’t get there at all.  “We had a patient, a man in his mid-thirties, who was completely blind and living with uncontrolled diabetes. Although we would schedule appointments for him, he had a very high no-show rate,” Dr. Lohr explained. Further investigation into his case revealed that this IEHP Member had problems with transportation and literacy, coupled with some behavioral health and depression issues. Dr. Lohr knew that his health would not improve unless the other barriers to care were addressed as well.  “He was at the point where he was basically giving up on his health. It was just too hard,” he said. That’s when the IEHP Member was referred to the Health Homes program.  “The Behavioral Health team provided wellness coaching to help him with his depression, a nurse educated him on how to control his sugars and social workers connected him with transportation assistance,” he said. “His diabetes is now controlled for the first time. He’s a great testament to the team’s care. Even he will tell you that the way he feels now is the difference between night and day.” While Dr. Lohr appreciates IEHP’s innovative programs like Health Homes, he also believes the basic day-to-day responsiveness by IEHP also makes a huge impact on how he and other Providers deliver quality care.  “When you get answers back in a timely manner, then care doesn’t have to be delayed. That’s important when it comes to keeping the trust of our patients. That makes a difference,” he said.

to know during this guide. What is Managed Care? Managed care is a healthcare delivery system used to manage quality, utilization, and cost. Managed care refers to a group of activities that helps lower the cost of offering for-profit healthcare services and health insurance while boosting the quality of healthcare services. IEHP is a managed health care plan that organizes care for their member. IEHP works with doctors, hospitals, and other health care Providers to give improved health care coordination and quality of care to the Members they serve. Medicaid Managed Care Medicaid managed care helps to provide Medicaid health benefits and other services through managed care organizations, also known as MCOs, and state Medicaid agencies. Managed care organizations accept a specific payment per member per month for their services. The main goals of Medicaid-managed care are to improve healthcare outcomes, healthcare quality, and health plan performance. How Does Managed Care Work? Managed-care plans tend to ask for less paperwork and offer a lower premium payment. The choice of treatment, drugs, and Doctors are limited. Healthcare providers, hospitals, and Doctors make plans with managed care plans to serve members at a lower rate. When you have a managed care plan, you are need to choose a primary care Doctor or PCP, who is part of the network, the doctor you choose will take care of all your medical needs, including annual exams, preventive care, and treatment for common illnesses. Your PCP will decide whether you need to be referred to a specialist like an oncologist. With a managed care plan, you cannot get coverage for specialist services without getting referred by your PCP. The cost for a managed care plan is typically less than a fee-for-service plan. You will typically pay a copayment every time you visit your doctor, as long as they are part of the plan network. This cost will depend on the type of managed health plan you choose. Choosing a Medicaid Health Plan MCO Medicaid can offer members the chance to select a health plan under Medicaid. Here is what you should look for in a Medicaid health plan: Excellent plan coverage. When you are looking for a Medicaid health plan, you should look for something that covers everything you could possibly need, including hospital stays, pregnancy, and newborn care, hospice and palliative care, emergency services, outpatient or ambulatory services, transgender services, mental health services, rehabilitative services, prescription drugs, lab services, preventative and wellness services, sensitive services, chronic illness management, substance use treatment services, dental services, vision services, pediatric services, telehealth services, non-medical transportation or NMT, non-emergency medical transportation or NEMT, and long-term services and supports or LTSS. Low premiums. Look for a Medicaid health plan that offers low to no premium payments. Some Medicaid plans offer a $0 monthly premium. Accessibility. You should also look for a Medicaid health plan accessible to you and others who need it, including children, adults, seniors, and those with disabilities who live in your area. What does IEHP offer?

group of students from the Inland Empire. More than 30 recipient students grew up in the Inland Empire and more than 50% are first generation medical students and grew up in low-income households. Through the scholarship fund, aspiring healthcare professionals will be guided through the system and connected to the health plan’s provider network. This allows students to pursue successful careers in healthcare immediately after graduation to help support the region’s growing population. Loma Linda University School of Medicine Inland Empire Medical Community Service Awardees Class of 2022 Ye Jin Jeon Ye Jin's Why: “I applied for the Inland Empire Medical Community Service Award because the goal and priority to expand access to care and healthcare provider options for the Southern California region aligns with my calling. As a child growing up in the San Bernardino County, I saw the economic disproportion within my own neighborhood, and this compelled me…God has led me pursue my medical career” Class of 2024 Edwin Choque Edwin's Why: “Simply put, my heart lies in the Inland Empire. This community of individuals have fostered me and loved me since I was a child and all I can hope is to pay that love and care forward. . . . My dream is to be on the front lines as a representative for these individuals who frequently become marginalized…” University of California, Riverside Dean's Mission Recipients Four Year Award Elizabeth Celaya-Ojeda Elizabeth's Why: “I want to work particularly with the underserved in this area because I truly believe that being a physician is a privilege and with that there is a responsibility to be an advocate for those who are facing health disparities. I am particularly interested in providing care to underserved Native American and Hispanic communities. Not many healthcare providers are aware of the disparities these two communities face and I want to be an advocate for them, especially in the Inland Empire.” Alfonso Parocua Alfonso's Why: “Growing up, my family lacked meaningful access to healthcare and relied on a local free clinic as our only means of interacting with a physician. Through my personal experience with the free clinic, I developed a passion for service to the underserved communities who lack meaningful access to basic healthcare amenities due to low socioeconomic status. I sought opportunities that would allow me to pay my gratitude forward by becoming part of the solution to healthcare disparities in Inland Southern California. Through my volunteer efforts in free clinics and other community involvement programs, I witnessed the passion and dedication that health care providers and volunteers in the area have towards the underserved community. This realization deepened my connection to Inland Southern California because I was reminded so much of the health care professionals that helped my family when they couldn't help themselves.” Two Year Award Cesar Fortuna Cesar's Why: “A San Bernardino native, I have had the opportunity to volunteer in my community as a Spanish language translator for free clinics. Most patients I have spoken with fell into the category of uninsured, underinsured, or undocumented. It became clear the extent of need in this region when I would translate to the providers that this was the first-time dozens of our patients had ever seen a medical professional; however, this wasn’t uncommon. To these patients and their stories, I thank them because they inspire me to pursue Emergency Medicine where I can become a valuable player in providing care, providing resources, or providing comfort.” Lavinia Mitroi Lavinia's Why: “My goal of pursuing a career at the intersection of medicine and public health is driven by a desire to put patients and communities at the center of our health care system in the U.S. This desire was sparked most poignantly by my own experiences as an IEHP patient growing up in the Inland Empire. As I prepare for a future career as a pediatrician in this region, I hope to serve as an advocate for children and families, providing direct health services but also creating systems change.” Armando Navarro Armando's Why: “The earliest memory of my grandfather is him telling me, “Mijo, tienes que aprender Español para ayudar tu comunidad, you have to learn how to speak Spanish to help your community”. These words were often repeated to me by my grandfather who lamented the fact that he only spoke Spanish. I witnessed the health disparities affecting my community; doctors who did not speak Spanish, parents who could not afford a trip to the doctors’ office, and a healthcare system that was not inclusive of my community’s culture. I have a duty to give back to a school, a community, that has given me so much.” Christ Ordookhanian Christ's Why: “I see the medical profession through the lens of an individual who had lived through challenging times and witnessed how one individual provider can make such and impact when their heart is in the right place. My dedication to our underserved community stems from that of a lifelong mission I have set for myself which is to ensure I give back to a community that I am deeply associated with, they are my founding roots in the United States, and I vow to be at the forefront of the next generation of physicians that care and give the underserved hope.” University of California, Riverside Dean's Mission Recipients Daphne Du Daphne's Why: “I spent most of my life in underprivileged areas and saw firsthand how difficult healthcare access could be through inadequate financial resources, transportation, or translation services. Thanks to this investment in my studies, there is less stress in my life. I can focus on my studies and eventually give back to the community by becoming a physician who will advocate for patients without meaningful access to health care.” Judith Gonzales Judith's Why: “As a first-generation college student, there have always been many barriers in my path to higher education. I am the eldest daughter of an immigrant family, and it is truly an honor to be able to reach this point in my education and in my career, and to give back to my parents who have sacrificed so much for me and my sisters. Growing up in an underserved community showed me the long-lasting impacts of health inequities and strengthened my resolve to pursue a career in medicine. Working in the Inland Empire, I hope to not only address, but actively work towards combating the health inequity present in our communities.” Jordan Hough Jordan's Why: “Despite disadvantages encountered when living in a low-income community, I am grateful for the privilege I had in meeting physicians dedicated to their practice and willing to share that love through mentorship. These individuals have served as exemplary medical professionals and have encouraged me to follow in their footsteps. As a future physician, I aspire to empathetically care for patients by allowing my past experiences to enhance my understanding of their needs. I also plan to incorporate teaching into patient care by presenting opportunities for students to shadow and be mentored for a career in medicine.” Diana Martinez Diana's Why: “I am the daughter of Mexican Immigrants and grew up in Compton, California where I unfortunately was quickly desensitized to violence and was able to tell the difference between a firework and a gun shot. My mother had to travel a significant distance to ensure we had adequate healthcare. Despite these conditions, my parents always stressed education and did their best to give me what I needed. These life circumstances ignited my passion to serve those in disadvantaged communities, which I interacted with throughout my educational career. The Inland Empire Health Program Scholarship means I can achieve my dream –by practicing medicine in a community that deserves adequate, equitable, and accessible healthcare. I will serve as a bilingual physician in the Inland Empire that can serve families like my own and many more.”

otions and how that balance (or imbalance) affects behavior and thoughts.   What is stigma? There is still too much stigma surrounding behavioral and mental health.  Historically, “crazy” or “mad” folks have been ostracized from society.  This has been due to ignorance about mental health.  Unfortunately, there is still too much fear and mis-understanding in our communities about mental health.  Many people suffer from mental disorders.  And given the current COVID-19 crisis, many more people will suffer from mental illness. Too many people suffer in silence with mental illness The statistics before COVID were about 1 in 5 people were diagnosed with a mental illness in America Those numbers will increase now during the COVID-19 crisis Mental Health includes wellness, self-care, emotional regulations, relationship issues, and parenting among other facets of everyday life Mental well-being is important to everyone Mental illness can happen to anyone Tips for staying mentally well during COVID-19 Self-care is critical: listen to your warning signs of struggling with your emotions and doing the basic things like showering, eating, sleeping, and exercise Do something that brings you enjoyment every day: play with your children or spouse, take walks, read a book, do something creative Connect with someone outside your home every day via telephone or other video technology Eat nutritiously, do not binge or eat too many sweets Avoid alcohol Continue to see your therapist via tele-health Continue to take care of your physical, financial, and spiritual needs Be patient with yourself and others Readily forgive yourself Exercise, do yoga, go for a walk.   Stay active, but do not overdue it Remember that you are not alone.   Many people are struggling or will struggle with mood and anxiety issues during this time .  Reach out for help.   Mental health help is available and we want you to seek help.

HP!   In early 2022, IEHP launched an innovative technology called IEHP Voice ID. This voice recognition system uses your voiceprints to identify you.  Your speech tones can be stored in safe databases and later used to identify your unique voice—like fingerprints or facial scans.  How will I benefit from using IEHP Voice ID?  By opting in to IEHP Voice ID, you can save the time it would take to go through the series of questions to prove your identity. Each Member who uses IEHP Voice ID could cut the time to verify their identity from 3 minutes to less than 30 seconds! Using IEHP Voice ID streamlines each call—our Member Services representatives will know right away that they are talking to the right member.  Is it safe?  IEHP Voice ID is more secure than passwords, PINS, security questions, and older forms of security. The IEHP Voice ID system will send an alert if it finds copied speech or a recorded voiceprint. Voice biometrics experts say that a voiceprint is safer. It includes more than 100 unique behavioral traits of each person, such as accent, pitch, length of the vocal tract, and so on. How can I sign up for IEHP Voice ID? IEHP Members can call IEHP Member Services at 1-800-440-IEHP (4347), Monday–Friday, 7am–7pm, and Saturday–Sunday, 8am–5pm. TTY users should call 1-800-718-4347 to sign up for IEHP Voice ID. The use of this service is optional. It does not cost you anything to sign up.
