IEHP) will host a series of maternal health events at all three of their Community Resource Centers throughout the month of May.  The events will celebrate new moms and moms-to-be and will provide resources including postpartum care and access to community partner support including CalFresh. Medi-Cal enrollment support and guidance on how and when to access care will also be offered. In addition, events will focus on the behavioral health of pregnant and postpartum members. According to California Department of Public Health’s latest Maternal and Infant Health Assessment, 21% of pregnant and postpartum Californians report depressive symptoms which negatively impact the health and wellness outcomes of newborns and their parents. “We know these statistics heavily impact our members in the Inland Empire. Some studies have found troubling racial and ethnic disparities in receiving mental health care for postpartum depression,” said Ruth Villalpando Albarran, IEHP Licensed Behavioral Health Care Manager. “These events are designed to guide and assist members at every stage of their pregnancy and postpartum journey. Working together, we can help ensure optimal care and inspire vibrant health for them and their little ones.” The health plan hosted its first event on May 18 at its Riverside Community Resource Center. Additional events will be hosted at IEHP’s San Bernardino and Victorville Community Resource Centers at 805 West 2nd Street, suite C in San Bernardino on Wednesday, May 25 and at 12353 Mariposa Road, Suites C-2 & C-3 in Victorville on Thursday, May 26.

rents of Members to feel confident in advocating for themselves, their children, and family members to access the behavioral healthcare they need. The health plan supports more than 7,500 Members who are utilizing behavioral health treatment services for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and related conditions. Such services may include: applied behavioral analysis, speech therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, psychiatry services and more. “Having Autism or being on the spectrum is nothing to be afraid of,” said Heather Waters, IEHP’s Manager of Behavioral Health and Care Management. “As a health plan, we want to take the stigma out of asking or seeking behavioral healthcare and encourage our Members or parents of Members to trust their gut and ask for support as soon as they spot any signs or symptoms of possible developmental delays.” Waters shared that early treatment and recognition of symptoms, as early as one year of age and before a child enters school, can result in better health outcomes, especially for children. Signs and symptoms vary and can range from obsessive or compulsive behaviors to poor social skills, delayed milestones, and more. IEHP Medi-Cal Members can be referred to services and treatment for ASD symptoms by a Medical Doctor or a Licensed Psychologist. This allows Members under 21 years of age to access critically important behavioral and developmental therapies immediately, while they undergo the autism evaluation process.   IEHP’s Internal Behavioral Health Team helps Members and their families navigate an ASD diagnosis through actively coordinating services and additional resources through partnerships with several provider groups and local agencies across the region. Recently, IEHP collaborated with the Inland Empire Autism Assessment Center of Excellence (AAC) to provide a Member in Indio with a complete Autism Diagnostic Evaluation through telehealth appointments. “Even with care coordination challenges like location and Member condition, the situation wasn’t impossible,” said Waters. “As the Member and their family connected with the AAC, our team checked in regularly to make sure the services were effective and to remind the family and Member that they were not alone in this journey.” To receive an evaluation or additional services, Members are encouraged to call IEHP’s Member Services at 1-800-440-4347 and ask for the Behavioral Health Department.

amily of viruses that cause smallpox. Is monkeypox very dangerous?  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) stated that most of those infected recover from monkeypox in two to four weeks. Those who caught the virus said the rash (that looks like pimples or blisters) can be painful.    Those with weakened immune systems, children under age 8, people who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and those with a history of eczema may be more likely to get seriously ill or pass away.  What are the symptoms? The most common symptoms are:  Fever and headache Muscle aches and backache Swollen lymph nodes Exhaustion and chills Sore throat, stuffy nose or cough Rash (i.e., pimples or blisters that show up on the face, inside the mouth and on other body parts) If you have monkeypox symptoms, please call your Doctor’s office. How does monkeypox spread? It is spread through direct contact with someone who has an infected rash, scabs or body fluids. It could also spread through face-to-face contact. Or it can be spread by touching items that had been touched by those with the infection. People who don’t have monkeypox symptoms can’t spread this virus to others. How can I protect myself and my family? Take these precautions:  Avoid skin-to-skin contact with those who have a rash that looks like monkeypox. This rash can look like small blisters or pimples and may be itchy or painful. Avoid contact with surfaces or materials that a person with monkeypox has used or touched. Wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds often or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Is there a monkey pox vaccine? JYNNEOS is a 2-dose vaccine developed to protect against monkeypox. The second dose should be given 4 weeks after the first dose. Consult with your health care provider if you are at high risk of exposure or if you were in contact with a person who has monkeypox within the last 2 weeks.  Antiviral drugs used for treatment of smallpox may be considered some instances to treat monkeypox viral infections. Consult with your health care provider for more information.  Who should get this vaccine? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends it for those who have been in close contact with those with monkeypox. While anyone exposed to this monkeypox can become infected, 98% of current infections have been found in men who have sex with men. Talk with your Doctor if you believe you have been exposed to monkeypox. If you have monkeypox symptoms, please call your Doctor’s office. Click here to learn more.  What are the side effects of the vaccine? The most common side effects are pain, redness, and itching at the spot where the vaccine is given. You may also experience fever, headache, tiredness, nausea, chills, and muscle aches; however, these are signs that the vaccine is working, not getting sick. These side effects may last for several weeks. Is the vaccine safe? The vaccine is safe to get. However, you should not get the vaccine if you have a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) after getting your first dose of the JYNNEOS vaccine. Make sure to let your health care provider know if you have a severe allergic reaction from any vaccinations. Do I have to pay for the vaccine? Monkeypox vaccines are FREE. Your health care provider must give you the vaccine regardless of your ability to pay the administration fee.

Prior Authorization and Out of Network Coverage  What kinds of medical care and other services can you get without getting approval in advance from your Primary Care Provider (PCP) in IEHP DualChoice (HMO D-SNP)? You can get services such as those listed below without getting approval in advance from your Primary Care Provider (PCP). Routine women’s health care, which includes breast exams, screening mammograms (X-rays of the breast), Pap tests, and pelvic exams as long as you get them from a network provider. Flu shots as long as you get them from a network provider. Emergency services from network providers or from out-of-network providers. Urgently needed care from in-network providers or from out-of-network providers when network providers are temporarily unavailable or inaccessible, e.g., when you are temporarily outside of the plan’s service area. Kidney dialysis services that you get at a Medicare-certified dialysis facility when you are temporarily outside the plan’s service area. (If possible, please call IEHP DualChoice Member Services before you leave the service area so we can help arrange for you to have maintenance dialysis while you are away.) How to get care from specialists and other network providers A specialist is a doctor who provides health care services for a specific disease or part of the body. There are many kinds of specialists. Here are a few examples: Oncologists care for patients with cancer. Cardiologists care for patients with heart conditions. Orthopedists care for patients with certain bone, joint, or muscle conditions. You will usually see your PCP first for most of your routine healthcare needs such as physical checkups, immunization, etc. When your PCP thinks that you need specialized treatment or supplies, your PCP will need to get prior authorization (i.e., prior approval) from your Plan and/or medical group. This is called a referral. Your PCP will send a referral to your plan or medical group. It is very important to get a referral (approval in advance) from your PCP before you see a Plan specialist or certain other providers. If you don’t have a referral (approval in advance) before you get services from a specialist, you may have to pay for these services yourself. PCPs are usually linked to certain hospitals and specialists. When you choose a PCP, it also determines what hospital and specialist you can use.  What if a specialist or another network provider leaves our plan? Sometimes a specialist, clinic, hospital or other network provider you are using might leave the plan. When a provider leaves a network, we will mail you a letter informing you about your new provider. If you prefer a different one, please call IEHP DualChoice Member Services and we can assist you in finding and selecting another provider. How to get care from out-of-network providers When your doctor recommends services that are not available in our network, you can receive these services by an out-of-network provider. In order to receive out-of-network services, your Primary Care Provider (PCP) or Specialist must submit a referral request to your plan or medical group. All requests for out-of-network services must be approved by your medical group prior to receiving services. IEHP DualChoice (HMO D-SNP) is a HMO Plan with a Medicare contract.

al care as early as possible improves the chances of a healthy pregnancy and childbirth.  Receiving postpartum care after childbirth is just as crucial for a woman to make sure she is healing properly and gets the help she needs to care for herself and her baby. IEHP has programs that offer support for our pregnant Members throughout their pregnancy and after.   Baby-N-Me App     This is a free app for IEHP Members who are pregnant or have a baby under 2 years old. On this app pregnant Members can get up-to-date information about their growing baby like ultrasound videos, get handy tools like a weight gain calculator, complete a survey that screens for postpartum depression, set appointment reminders, and much more!    Parents of a baby under 2 years old can get parenting tips and advice, age-adapted information about their baby’s growth, feeding patterns, and tools to track diaper changes, growth, and vaccines.  You can download this app for free through iTunes or Google Play Loving Support Loving Support is committed to helping mothers achieve their breastfeeding goals.

However, postpartum depression is more severe and long-lasting, usually requiring treatment from a mental health professional. For millions of new moms, like Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP) Member Gerti, motherhood – and all the challenges it brings – can be overwhelming. After the birth of her daughter, Gerti struggled with her mental health and recognized she needed help.  Thankfully, she knew exactly where to turn.    Additional Resources The ABC's of Safe Sleep (Video) Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: Pregnancy Depression During and After Pregnancy
