Latest News - Trona Strong: Small town, big heart
ing earthquakes rocked the rural desert community nearly four years ago, many of the residents couldn’t recover, shuttered their homes and simply walked away. Others who stayed just haven’t been able to replace the broken glass.
But make no mistake – the Trona citizens who remain love their town. They’re Trona Strong.
Despite the damaged windows, the door to welcome partners like Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP) – and the help and resources it can offer – is wide open.
‘BRING NEW HOPE’
“We’re isolated out here in a lot of different ways and it’s a struggle to get many services,” said Trona resident Julia Pitman, who recently attended a special in-person meeting with IEHP CEO Jarrod McNaughton at the Trona Community Senior Center. “I was pleased to hear that we had a visit from your team (to) bring new hope to the community.”
IEHP was eager to show up for Trona.
“The questions that came up, the suggestions that came up today – none of that, I don’t believe, we would have received if we had done some kind of a virtual call or something,” said McNaughton later that day. “I think you have to come in person to really feel what folks are going through, to feel their passion for their community as well.”
Even before the 6.4, then 7.1 temblors that hit the town just one day apart, July 4 and 5, 2019, Trona struggled with the changing landscape of its dwindling population (now less than 2,000) and employment opportunities.
Searles Valley Minerals is still the largest employer in Trona.
Trona was “born” a company town – literally. In 1914, the American Trona Company established its namesake for the mineral found in the Searles dry lakebed. The community and its residents flourished for the next 60 years, until a series of unfortunate events including factory buy-outs, production cuts and massive layoffs. Thousands of people left Trona.
Then, in 2019, the double-whammy of the double quakes, followed by the COVID-19 pandemic less than a year later. Then more residents moved away.
BRIGHT SPOTS
Along Trona’s timeline, there are bright spots.
Football is still a big draw, including games at Trona High School’s all-dirt gridiron – known as the “Pit” –home to the Tornadoes’ eight-man football team. The unique surface mix of sand, grit and rocks is famous: It’s been featured in national media outlets.
Future athletes are only a short pass away at the neighboring elementary school whose mascot is the Twisters and where students and teachers alike occasionally dress up as their favorite character for Disney Days.
The nearby Trona Pinnacles and surrounding areas – with their otherworldly look and feel – appear as unusual scenic landscapes in various TV shows and Hollywood films, mostly of the sci-fi variety. And sometimes, news crews and photographers pass through town to document Trona’s struggles and steadfast devotion.
Much to diners’ delight, Trona’s only eatery – Esparza’s Family Restaurant – recently reopened in a new location, but still serving everyone’s favorite Mexican fare. Its previous spot remains red-tagged from the earthquakes.
LOOKING AHEAD
Nowadays, Trona residents say it’s time to look forward and find solutions for current gaps like health care access and potential career development for its young people.
On Dec. 14, IEHP hosted Winter Wonderland, a large resource fair with dental services, vaccines and other health information. The well-attended event also featured a regular bi-weekly fresh produce distribution, established after ongoing feedback sessions with residents. This collaboration started in 2021, before IEHP officially expanded its health plan coverage area to rural areas, including outlying areas along the borders of San Bernardino County, in January 2022.
At the community meeting with IEHP’s CEO McNaughton – which included a lunch catered by Esparza’s – Trona residents were asked to share their town’s top needs.
“The biggest thing is how can we get health services in Trona,” said Priscilla Benadom, a longtime Trona resident and recent retiree as the senior center’s program coordinator.
Following the meeting, McNaughton wanted to see the area and some of its logistical challenges firsthand, so he took a tour of the city. McNaughton also stopped for a brief visit with those Twisters at the elementary school, distributing IEHP swag bags and chocolate chip cookies.
And because it was Disney Day, he even broke out into a booming rendition of the theme song, “Let It Go” from the mega hit movie “Frozen” for one of several Elsas in the classroom.
“It’s an honor for IEHP to be connected now – finally – into this community where we can do some pretty cool things together with them,” McNaughton said.

Specialty Mental Health Care Coordination
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is requiring IEHP and its IPAs to document and report the efforts made to coordinate the care of IEHP DualChoice (HMO D-SNP) Members receiving specialty mental health services through the County Mental Health Plans. As of June 1, 2018, IEHP has put policies and procedures in place to comply with these process and reporting requirements:
On the first (1st) of each month, IEHP will provide IPAs and County MH Clinics a list of IEHP DualChoice (HMO D-SNP) Members known to be receiving specialty mental health services through the County MH Plans.
IPAs are expected to outreach to these Members and their County MH Clinic Provider, as well as, document their outreach attempts and outcomes as outlined in Policy 25C2, “Care Management Requirements – Delegated IPA Responsibilities.”
IPAs are required to provide data elements specific to this measure, as outlined in Policy 25F1, “Encounter Data Reporting - Medicare MMP Reporting Requirements – IEHP DualChoice (HMO D-SNP)" and Attachment, “Medicare Provider Reporting Requirements Schedule” in Section 25.
IEHP, through its Delegation Oversight process, will monitor the IPAs’ compliance with documentation and reporting requirements, as outlined in Policy 25A2, “Delegation Oversight Audit.”

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. Enrollment in IEHP DualChoice (HMO D-SNP) is dependent on contract renewal. This is not a complete list.

Healthy Living - Coronavirus
how eating right and being active are the secrets to a long, healthy life. These are important. But there’s more you can do to stop disease. Finding health problems early gives you more treatment choices or a cure. That’s where health screenings come in.
Health screenings are vital for all people, from newborns to seniors. These tests are designed to look for signs that you may be at risk for certain conditions. They help spot health problems at an early stage, even if you do not have symptoms.
Types of cancer screenings
Breast Cancer
A mammogram is a breast X-ray. It can spot breast cancer early when it’s most treatable and when your chance of a cure is much higher. Both women and men can get breast cancer and should get screened every two years, starting at age 50. Those who are at high risk or would like to start screening at an earlier age can talk to their Doctor about starting screening at age 40.
Cervical Cancer (Pap Smear)
The Pap test also known as a pap smear, can detect not normal cells on your cervix early enough so they can be treated before cancer has a chance to grow. The screening is recommended for woman ages 21-65 every 3-5 years, depending on the risk and type of screening. To schedule a screening, talk to your Doctor.
Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer affects the colon and the rectum. Screening can find and remove growths in these areas before they turn into cancer. Everyone ages 45-75 should get screened for colorectal cancer every 1-10 years, depending on risk and type of test used. Talk with your Doctor about which test is the best for you.
Lung Cancer
Screening for lung cancer with imaging (CT scan) in people who smoke or who have quit within the past 15 years, can help find cancer at an early stage. Catching it early keeps you healthy. A yearly screening is recommended for anyone ages 50-80 who smokes cigarettes or has quit smoking in the last 15 years.
If you’re due for a screening, call your Doctor today to schedule your appointment. Don’t wait. Take charge of your health!
For help, call IEHP Member Services at 1-800-440-4347, Monday – Friday, 7 a.m. – 7 p.m., and Saturday-Sunday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.
