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.

o can get preventive care services? IEHP Members who are infants, children, and youth up to age 21 can get these services at no cost. What are preventive care services? Services that ensure that infants, children, and youth under age 21 get the care they need at the right age. This includes screenings for medical, dental, vision, hearing, mental health, and substance use disorders. You or your child may also get developmental services, specialty care, and needed vaccines to keep you healthy.  Developmental services include early intervention through screening tools such as the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ-3). The ASQ-3 is a developmental screening for children ages 0-5 that provides a fast, helpful, and detailed look at how your child is growing and developing. IEHP provides a free online ASQ-3 screening for your child at any time. Click here to request a free ASQ-3 screening. IEHP covers screenings (including lead blood-level assessment) any time you need them at no cost to you.  Check-ups and screenings can help Doctors find health issues early. If a physical or behavioral health issue is found during a check-up or screening, IEHP will cover the care needed to address it. How do I get preventive care services? Set up a visit for any check-ups, screenings or other preventive care through your or your child’s Doctor.  If you or your child are eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine (5 years or older), it is also important that you get the vaccine as soon as possible.
