a better life, and a better future. Many children enter foster care with a list of physical or behavioral health concerns. Due to changing placements, these concerns often go untreated. By speeding up the process to see a Doctor, the Open Access Program makes it simple for your child to get ongoing medical care. No matter where you live in the Inland Empire, your child can see any Doctor in the network. Plus, our program gives your child many services you won’t find with the Regular Medi-Cal system. How Open Access makes it simpler for your child to get healthcare: Your child can see any PCP in our large network. You can switch Doctors any time, for any reason. IEHP will help you find one. Call 1-800-440-IEHP (4347) / TTY (800) 718-4347. The Program gives your Doctor a record of your child’s health history (shots, medicines, checkups) so there’s no guesswork. If you misplaced your IEHP Member ID Card or Beneficiary Identification Card (BIC), an Open Access Doctor can go online and quickly confirm your child’s eligibility. You and your child get extra services at no cost: Keep your child feeling well with no-cost Wellness Programs like asthma or diabetes.  Keep your child safe and healthy and get extras a parent enjoy like an infant car seat, children’s vitamins, and a bicycle helmet. A team helps you care for your child with a chronic illness. Working with your child’s Doctor, we call you, making sure your child gets the right care. We even lend a hand if things like Doctor visits, lab tests or medicine pile up.

ited exceptions, while you are a member of our plan you must use network providers to get your medical care and services. The only exceptions are emergencies, urgently needed care when the network is not available (generally, when you are out of the area), out-of-area dialysis services, and cases in which IEHP DualChoice (HMO D-SNP) authorizes use of out-of-network providers. What are Network providers? Network providers are the doctors and other health care professionals, medical groups, hospitals, and other health care facilities that have an agreement with us to accept our payment as payment in full. We have arranged for these providers to deliver covered services to members in our plan. All of our plan participating providers also contract us to provide covered Medi-Cal benefits. Find a Doctor Use the IEHP DualChoice Provider and Pharmacy Directory below to find a network provider: 2023 IEHP DualChoice Provider and Pharmacy Directory (PDF) 2024 IEHP DualChoice Provider and Pharmacy Directory (PDF) (Coming soon) What is a Primary Care Provider (PCP) and their role in your Plan? A PCP is your Primary Care Provider. You will usually see your PCP first for most of your routine health care needs. Your PCP will also help you arrange or coordinate the rest of the covered services you get as a member of our Plan. "Coordinating" your services includes checking or consulting with other Plan providers about your care and how it is going. This includes: your X-rays laboratory tests, therapies care from doctors who are specialists hospital admissions, and follow-up care Primary Care Providers (PCPs) are usually linked to certain hospitals. When you choose your PCP, remember the following: You must choose your PCP from your Provider and Pharmacy Directory. Call IEHP DualChoice Member Services if you need help in choosing a PCP or changing your PCP. Choose a PCP that is within 10 miles or 15 minutes of your home. The PCP you choose can only admit you to certain hospitals. Try to choose a PCP that can admit you to the hospital you want within 30 miles or 45 minutes of your home. Some hospitals have “hospitalists” who specialize in care for people during their hospital stay. If you are admitted to one of these hospitals, a “hospitalist” may serve as your caregiver as long as you remain in the hospital. When you are discharged from the hospital, you will return to your PCP for your health care needs. If you need to change your PCP for any reason, your hospital and specialist may also change. Your PCP should speak your language. However, your PCP can always use Language Line Services to get help from an interpreter, if needed. If you do not choose a PCP when you join IEHP DualChoice, we will choose one for you. We will send you your ID Card with your PCP’s information. Remember, you can request to change your PCP at any time. You can switch your Doctor (and hospital) for any reason (once per month). If your change request is received by IEHP by the 25th of the month, the change will be effective the first of the following month; if your change request is received by IEHP after the 25th of the month, the change will be effective the first day of the subsequent month (for some providers, you may need a referral from your PCP).  How to Get Care from a Specialist You will usually see your Primary Care Provider (PCP) first for most of your routine healthcare needs such as physical check-ups, 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. What if you are outside the plan’s service area when you have an urgent need for care? Suppose that you are temporarily outside our plan’s service area, but still in the United States. If you have an urgent need for care, you probably will not be able to find or get to one of the providers in our plan’s network. In this situation (when you are outside the service area and cannot get care from a network provider), our plan will cover urgently needed care that you get from any provider. Our plan does not cover urgently needed care or any other care if you receive the care outside of the United States. Changing your Primary Care Provider (PCP) You may change your PCP for any reason, at any time. Also, it’s possible that your PCP might leave our plan’s network of providers and you would have to find a new PCP. If this happens, you will have to switch to another provider who is part of our Plan. If your PCP leaves our Plan, we will let you know and help you choose another PCP so that you can keep getting covered services. IEHP DualChoice Member Services can assist you in finding and selecting another provider. You can change your Doctor by calling IEHP DualChoice Member Services. Please call IEHP DualChoice Member Services at (877) 273-IEHP (4347), 8am-8pm (PST), 7 days a week, including holidays. TTY users should call (800) 718-4347.

If we don’t give you our decision within 14 calendar days, you can appeal. Can I get a coverage decision faster for Part C services? Yes. If you need a response faster because of your health, you should ask us to make a “fast coverage decision.”  If we approve the request, we will notify you of our coverage decision within 72 hours. Asking for a fast coverage decision: If you request a fast coverage decision, start by calling or faxing our plan to ask us to cover the care you want.  You can call IEHP DualChoice at (877) 273-IEHP (4347), 8am-8pm (PST), 7 days a week, including holidays.

Here are the rules for asking for a fast coverage decision:  You must meet the following two requirements to get a fast coverage decision:  You can get a fast coverage decision only if you are asking for coverage for care or an item you have not yet received. You can get a fast coverage decision only if the standard 14 calendar day deadline could cause serious harm to your health or hurt your ability to function.  If your doctor says that you need a fast coverage decision, we will automatically give you one. If you ask for a fast coverage decision, without your doctor’s support, we will decide if you get a fast coverage decision.  If we decide that your health does not meet the requirements for a fast coverage decision, we will send you a letter. We will also use the standard 14 calendar day deadline instead. This letter will tell you that if your doctor asks for the fast coverage decision, we will automatically give a fast coverage decision. The letter will also tell how you can file a “fast appeal” about our decision to give you a fast coverage decision instead of the fast coverage decision you requested. If the coverage decision is Yes, when will I get the service or item? You will be able to get the service or item within 14 calendar days (for a standard coverage decision) or 72 hours (for a fast coverage decision) of when you asked. If the coverage decision is No, how will I find out?  If the answer is No, we will send you a letter telling you our reasons for saying No. If we say no, you have the right to ask us to change this decision by making an appeal. Making an appeal means asking us to review our decision to deny coverage. If you decide to make an appeal, it means you are going on to Level 1 of the appeals process. Appeals What is an Appeal? An appeal is a formal way of asking us to review our decision and change it if you think we made a mistake. For example, we might decide that a service, item, or drug that you want is not covered or is no longer covered by Medicare or Medi-Cal. If you or your doctor disagree with our decision, you can appeal. In most cases, you must start your appeal at Level 1. If you do not want to first appeal to the plan for a Medi-Cal service, in special cases you can ask for an Independent Medical Review. If you need help during the appeals process, you can call the Office of the Ombudsman at 1-888-452-8609. The Office of Ombudsman is not connected with us or with any insurance company or health plan. What is a Level 1 Appeal for Part C services? A Level 1 Appeal is the first appeal to our plan. We will review our coverage decision to see if it is correct. The reviewer will be someone who did not make the original coverage decision. When we complete the review, we will give you our decision in writing. If we tell you after our review that the service or item is not covered, your case can go to a Level 2 Appeal.  Can someone else make the appeal for me for Part C services? Yes. Your doctor or other provider can make the appeal for you. Also, someone besides your doctor or other provider can make the appeal for you, but first you must complete an Appointment of Representative Form. The form gives the other person permission to act for you. If the appeal comes from someone besides you or your doctor or other provider, we must receive the completed Appointment of Representative form before we can review the appeal. How do I make a Level 1 Appeal for Part C services? To start your appeal, you, your doctor or other provider, or your representative must contact us. You can call IEHP DualChoice Member Services at (877) 273-IEHP (4347), 8am-8pm (PST), 7 days a week, including holidays. TTY should call (800) 718-4347.

How much time do I have to make an appeal for Part C services? You must ask for an appeal within 60 calendar days from the date on the letter we sent to tell you our decision. If you miss this deadline and have a good reason for missing it, we may give you more time to make your appeal. Examples of a good reason are: you had a serious illness, or we gave you the wrong information about the deadline for requesting an appeal. Can I get a copy of my case file? Yes. Ask us for a copy by calling Member Services at (877) 273-IEHP (4347). TTY (800) 718-4347. Can my doctor give you more information about my appeal for Part C services? Yes, you and your doctor may give us more information to support your appeal. How will the plan make the appeal decision?  We take a careful look at all of the information about your request for coverage of medical care. Then, we check to see if we were following all the rules when we said No to your request. The reviewer will be someone who did not make the original decision. If we need more information, we may ask you or your doctor for it.  When will I hear about a “standard” appeal decision for Part C services? We must give you our answer within 30 calendar days after we get your appeal. We will give you our decision sooner if your health condition requires us to. If our answer is Yes to part or all of what you asked for, we must approve or give the coverage within 30 calendar days after we get your appeal. If our answer is No to part or all of what you asked for, we will send you a letter. If your problem is about a Medicare service or item, the letter will tell you that we sent your case to the Independent Review Entity for a Level 2 Appeal. If your problem is about a Medi-Cal service or item, the letter will tell you how to file a Level 2 Appeal yourself. Please see below for more information. What happens if I ask for a fast appeal? If you ask for a fast appeal, we will give you your answer within 72 hours after we get your appeal. We will give you our answer sooner if your health requires us to do so. If our answer is Yes to part or all of what you asked for, we must authorize or provide the coverage within 72 hours after we get your appeal.  If our answer is No to part or all of what you asked for, we will send you a letter. If your problem is about a Medicare service or item, the letter will tell you that we sent your case to the Independent Review Entity for a Level 2 Appeal. If your problem is about a Medi-Cal service or item, the letter will tell you how to file a Level 2 Appeal yourself. Please see below for more information. Will my benefits continue during Level 1 appeals? If we decide to change or stop coverage for a service or item that was previously approved, we will send you a notice before taking the action. If you disagree with the action, you can file a Level 1 Appeal and ask that we continue your benefits for the service or item. You must make the request on or before the later of the following in order to continue your benefits: Within 10 days of the mailing date of our notice of action; or The intended effective date of the action. If you meet this deadline, you can keep getting the disputed service or item while your appeal is processing. Level 2 Appeal If the plan says No at Level 1, what happens next? If we say no to part or all of your Level 1 Appeal, we will send you a letter. This letter will tell you if the service or item is usually covered by Medicare or Medi-Cal. If your problem is about a Medicare service or item, we will automatically send your case to Level 2 of the appeals process as soon as the Level 1 Appeal is complete. If your problem is about a Medi-Cal service or item, you can file a Level 2 Appeal yourself. The letter will tell you how to do this. Information is also below. What is a Level 2 Appeal? A Level 2 Appeal is the second appeal, which is done by an independent organization that is not connected to the plan.   My problem is about a Medi-Cal service or item. How can I make a Level 2 Appeal? There are two ways to make a Level 2 appeal for Medi-Cal services and items: 1) Independent Medical Review or 2) State Hearing. 1)    Independent Medical Review You can ask for an Independent Medical Review (IMR) from the Help Center at the California Department of Managed Health Care (DMHC). An IMR is available for any Medi-Cal covered service or item that is medical in nature. An IMR is a review of your case by doctors who are not part of our plan. If the IMR is decided in your favor, we must give you the service or item you requested. You pay no costs for an IMR. You can apply for an IMR if our plan: Denies, changes, or delays a Medi-Cal service or treatment (not including IHSS) because our plan determines it is not medically necessary. Will not cover an experimental or investigational Medi-Cal treatment for a serious medical condition. Will not pay for emergency or urgent Medi-Cal services that you already received. Has not resolved your Level 1 Appeal on a Medi-Cal service within 30 calendar days for a standard appeal or 72 hours for a fast appeal. You can ask for an IMR if you have also asked for a State Hearing, but not if you have already had a State Hearing, on the same issue. In most cases, you must file an appeal with us before requesting an IMR. If you disagree with our decision, you can ask the DMHC Help Center for an IMR. If your treatment was denied because it was experimental or investigational, you do not have to take part in our appeal process before you apply for an IMR. If your problem is urgent and involves an immediate and serious threat to your health, you may bring it immediately to the DMHC’s attention. The DMHC may waive the requirement that you first follow our appeal process in extraordinary and compelling cases. You must apply for an IMR within 6 months after we send you a written decision about your appeal. The DMHC may accept your application after 6 months if it determines that circumstances kept you from submitting your application in time. To ask for an IMR: Fill out the Independent Medical Review/Complaint Form available at https://www.dmhc.ca.gov/FileaComplaint/IndependentMedicalReviewComplaintForms.aspx or call the DMHC Help Center at (888) 466-2219. TDD users should call (877) 688-9891. If you have them, attach copies of letters or other documents about the service or item that we denied. This can speed up the IMR process. Send copies of documents, not originals. The Help Center cannot return any documents. Fill out the Authorized Assistant Form if someone is helping you with your IMR. You can get the form by https://www.dmhc.ca.gov/FileaComplaint/SubmitanIndependentMedicalReviewComplaintForm.aspx. You complete Part A and the person you want to give permission to assist you with the Interdependent Medical Review will complete Part B. If you cannot complete the Authorized Assistant form, the person with legal authority to act for you will only need to complete Part B and attach a copy of the power of attorney for health care decisions or other documents that say that this person can make decision for you. Mail or fax your forms and any attachments to:  Help Center Department of Managed Health Care 980 Ninth Street, Suite 500 Sacramento, CA 95814-2725 FAX: 916-255-5241 If you qualify for an IMR, the DMHC will review your case and send you a letter within 7 calendar days telling you that you qualify for an IMR. After your application and supporting documents are received from your plan, the IMR decision will be made within 30 calendar days. You should receive the IMR decision within 45 calendar days of the submission of the completed application. If your case is urgent and you qualify for an IMR, the DMHC will review your case and send you a letter within 2 calendar days telling you that you qualify for an IMR. After your application and supporting documents are received from your plan, the IMR decision will be made within 3 calendar days. You should receive the IMR decision within 7 calendar days of the submission of the completed application. If you are not satisfied with the result of the IMR, you can still ask for a State Hearing.  If the DMHC decides that your case is not eligible for IMR, the DMHC will review your case through its regular consumer complaint process. 2)    State Hearing You can ask for a State Hearing for Medi-Cal covered services and items. If your doctor or other provider asks for a service or item that we will not approve, or we will not continue to pay for a service or item you already have and we said no to your Level 1 appeal, you have the right to ask for a State Hearing. In most cases you have 120 days to ask for a State Hearing after the “Your Hearing Rights” notice is mailed to you.  NOTE: If you ask for a State Hearing because we told you that a service you currently get will be changed or stopped, you have fewer days to submit your request if you want to keep getting that service while your State Hearing is pending. Read “Will my benefits continue during Level 2 appeals” in Chapter 9 of the Member Handbook for more information. There are two ways to ask for a State Hearing: You may complete the "Request for State Hearing" on the back of the notice of action. You should provide all requested information such as your full name, address, telephone number, the name of the plan or county that took the action against you, the aid program(s) involved, and a detailed reason why you want a hearing. Then you may submit your request one of these ways: To the county welfare department at the address shown on the notice. To the California Department of Social Services: State Hearings Division P.O. Box 944243, Mail Station 9-17-37 Sacramento, California 94244-2430 To the State Hearings Division at fax number 916-651-5210 or 916-651-2789. You can call the California Department of Social Services at (800) 952-5253. TDD users should call (800) 952-8349. If you decide to ask for a State Hearing by phone, you should be aware that the phone lines are very busy. Will my benefits continue during Level 2 appeals? If your problem is about a service or item covered by Medicare, your benefits for that service or item will not continue during the Level 2 appeals process with the Independent Review Entity. If your problem is about a service or item covered by Medi-Cal and you ask for a State Fair Hearing, your Medi-Cal benefits for that service or item will continue until a hearing decision is made. You must ask for a hearing on or before the later of the following in order to continue your benefits: Within 10 days of the mailing date of our notice to you that the adverse benefit determination (Level 1 appeal decision) has been upheld; or The intended effective date of the action. If you meet this deadline, you can keep getting the disputed service or item until the hearing decision is made. How will I find out about the decision? If your Level 2 Appeal was a State Hearing, the California Department of Social Services will send you a letter explaining its decision.  If the State Hearing decision is Yes to part or all of what you asked for, we must comply with the decision. We must complete the described action(s) within 30 calendar days of the date we received a copy of the decision. If the State Hearing decision is No to part or all of what you asked for, it means they agree with the Level 1 decision. We may stop any aid paid pending you are receiving.  If your Level 2 Appeal was an Independent Medical Review, the Department of Managed Health Care will send you a letter explaining its decision.  If the Independent Medical Review decision is Yes to part or all of what you asked for, we must provide the service or treatment. If the Independent Medical Review decision is No to part or all of what you asked for, it means they agree with the Level 1 decision. You can still get a State Hearing. If your Level 2 Appeal went to the Medicare Independent Review Entity, it will send you a letter explaining its decision. If the Independent Review Entity says Yes to part or all of what you asked for, we must authorize the medical care coverage within 72 hours or give you the service or item within 14 calendar days from the date we receive the IRE’s decision.  If the Independent Review Entity says No to part or all of what you asked for, it means they agree with the Level 1 decision. This is called “upholding the decision.” It is also called “turning down your appeal.” If the decision is No for all or part of what I asked for, can I make another appeal? If your Level 2 Appeal was a State Hearing, you may ask for a rehearing within 30 days after you receive the decision. You may also ask for judicial review of a State Hearing denial by filing a petition in Superior Court (under Code of Civil Procedure Section 1094.5) within one year after you receive the decision.  If your Level 2 Appeal was an Independent Medical Review, you can request a State Hearing.  If your Level 2 Appeal went to the Medicare Independent Review Entity, you can appeal again only if the dollar value of the service or item you want meets a certain minimum amount. The letter you get from the IRE will explain additional appeal rights you may have. Payment Problems We do not allow our network providers to bill you for covered services and items. This is true even if we pay the provider less than the provider charges for a covered service or item. You are never required to pay the balance of any bill. The only amount you should be asked to pay is the copay for service, item, and/or drug categories that require a copay. If you get a bill that is more than your copay for covered services and items, send the bill to us. You should not pay the bill yourself. We will contact the provider directly and take care of the problem. How do I ask the plan to pay me back for the plan’s share of medical services or items I paid for? Remember, if you get a bill that is more than your copay for covered services and items, you should not pay the bill yourself. But if you do pay the bill, you can get a refund if you followed the rules for getting services and items.  If you are asking to be paid back, you are asking for a coverage decision. We will see if the service or item you paid for is a covered service or item, and we will check to see if you followed all the rules for using your coverage. If the service or item you paid for is covered and you followed all the rules, we will send you the payment for our share of the cost of the service or item within 5 business days from the time we receive the necessary information to make a determination and no later than 14 calendar days after we get your request Or, if you haven’t paid for the service or item yet, we will send the payment directly to the provider. When we send the payment, it’s the same as saying Yes to your request for a coverage decision. If the service or item is not covered, or you did not follow all the rules, we will send you a letter telling you we will not pay for the service or item and explaining why. What if the plan says they will not pay? If you do not agree with our decision, you can make an appeal. Follow the appeals process. When you are following these instructions, please note: If you make an appeal for reimbursement, we must give you our answer within 30 days after we get your appeal. If you are asking us to pay you back for medical care you have already received and paid for yourself, you are not allowed to ask for a fast appeal.  If we answer “no” to your appeal and the service or item is usually covered by Medicare, we will automatically send your case to the Independent Review Entity. We will notify you by letter if this happens. If the IRE reverses our decision and says we should pay you, we must send the payment to you or to the provider within 30 calendar days. If the answer to your appeal is Yes at any stage of the appeals process after Level 2, we must send the payment you asked for to you or to the provider within 60 calendar days. If the IRE says No to your appeal, it means they agree with our decision not to approve your request. (This is called “upholding the decision.” It is also called “turning down your appeal.”) The letter you get will explain additional appeal rights you may have. You can appeal again only if the dollar value of the service or item you want meets a certain minimum amount. If we answer “no” to your appeal and the service or item is usually covered by Medi-Cal, you can file a Level 2 Appeal yourself (see above).

have problems getting a Part D drug or you want us to pay you back for a Part D drug. Your benefits as a member of our plan include coverage for many prescription drugs. Most of these drugs are “Part D drugs.” There are a few drugs that Medicare Part D does not cover but that Medi-Cal may cover. Can I ask for a coverage determination or make an appeal about Part D prescription drugs? Yes. Here are examples of coverage determination you can ask us to make about your Part D drugs.  You ask us to make an exception such as: Asking us to cover a Part D drug that is not on the plan’s List of Covered Drugs (Formulary) Asking us to waive a restriction on the plan’s coverage for a drug (such as limits on the amount of the drug you can get) You ask us if a drug is covered for you (for example, when your drug is on the plan’s Formulary but we require you to get approval from us before we will cover it for you). Please note: If your pharmacy tells you that your prescription cannot be filled, you will get a notice explaining how to contact us to ask for a coverage determination. You ask us to pay for a prescription drug you already bought. This is asking for a coverage determination about payment. If you disagree with a coverage decision we have made, you can appeal our decision. What is an exception? An exception is permission to get coverage for a drug that is not normally on our List of Covered Drugs, or to use the drug without certain rules and limitations. If a drug is not on our List of Covered Drugs, or is not covered in the way you would like, you can ask us to make an “exception.” When you ask for an exception, your doctor or other prescriber will need to explain the medical reasons why you need the exception. Here are examples of exceptions that you or your doctor or another prescriber can ask us to make:  Covering a Part D drug that is not on our List of Covered Drugs (Formulary). If we agree to make an exception and cover a drug that is not on the Formulary, you will need to pay the cost-sharing amount that applies to drug. You cannot ask for an exception to the copayment or coinsurance amount we require you to pay for the drug. Removing a restriction on our coverage. There are extra rules or restrictions that apply to certain drugs on our Formulary. The extra rules and restrictions on coverage for certain drugs include: Being required to use the generic version of a drug instead of the brand name drug. Getting plan approval before we will agree to cover the drug for you. (This is sometimes called “prior authorization.”) Being required to try a different drug first before we will agree to cover the drug you are asking for. (This is sometimes called “step therapy.”) Quantity limits. For some drugs, the plan limits the amount of the drug you can have. If we agree to make an exception and waive a restriction for you, you can still ask for an exception to the co-pay amount we require you to pay for the drug. Important things to know about asking for exceptions Your doctor or other prescriber must give us a statement explaining the medical reasons for requesting an exception. Our decision about the exception will be faster if you include this information from your doctor or other prescriber when you ask for the exception. Typically, our Formulary includes more than one drug for treating a particular condition. These different possibilities are called “alternative” drugs. If an alternative drug would be just as effective as the drug you are asking for, and would not cause more side effects or other health problems, we will generally not approve your request for an exception. We will say Yes or No to your request for an exception. If we say Yes to your request for an exception, the exception usually lasts until the end of the calendar year. This is true as long as your doctor continues to prescribe the drug for you and that drug continues to be safe and effective for treating your condition. If we say No to your request for an exception, you can ask for a review of our decision by making an appeal. Coverage Decision What to do Ask for the type of coverage decision you want. Call, write, or fax us to make your request. You, your representative, or your doctor (or other prescriber) can do this.   You can call us at: (877) 273-IEHP (4347), 8am-8pm (PST), 7 days a week, including holidays. TTY users should call 1-800-718-4347. You can fax us at: (909) 890-5877  You can to write us at: IEHP DualChoice P.O. Box 1800 Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91729-1800 You or your doctor (or other prescriber) or someone else who is acting on your behalf can ask for a coverage decision. You can also have a lawyer act on your behalf. You do not need to give your doctor or other prescriber written permission to ask us for a coverage determination on your behalf. If you are requesting an exception, provide the “supporting statement.” Your doctor or other prescriber must give us the medical reasons for the drug exception. We call this the “supporting statement.”  Your doctor or other prescriber can fax or mail the statement to us. Or your doctor or other prescriber can tell us on the phone, and then fax or mail a statement. Request for MediImpact Medicare Part D Coverage Determination Request Form (PDF) These forms are also available on the CMS website: Medicare Prescription Drug Determination Request Form (for use by enrollees and providers) By clicking on this link, you will be leaving the IEHP DualChoice website. Deadlines for a “standard coverage decision” about a drug you have not yet received If we are using the standard deadlines, we must give you our answer within 72 hours after we get your request or, if you are asking for an exception, after we get your doctor’s or prescriber’s supporting statement. We will give you our answer sooner if your health requires it. If we do not meet this deadline, we will send your request on to Level 2 of the appeals process. At Level 2, an Independent Review Entity will review the decision. If our answer is Yes to part or all of what you asked for, we must approve or give the coverage within 72 hours after we get your request or, if you are asking for an exception, your doctor’s or prescriber’s supporting statement.  If our answer is No to part or all of what you asked for, we will send you a letter that explains why we said No. The letter will also explain how you can appeal our decision. Deadlines for a “standard coverage decision” about payment for a drug you have already bought We must give you our answer within 14 calendar days after we get your request. If we do not meet this deadline, we will send your request to Level 2 of the appeals process. At level 2, an Independent Review Entity will review the decision. If our answer is Yes to part or all of what you asked for, we will make payment to you within 14 calendar days. If our answer is No to part or all of what you asked for, we will send you a letter that explains why we said No. This statement will also explain how you can appeal our decision. If your health requires it, ask us to give you a “fast coverage decision” We will use the “standard deadlines” unless we have agreed to use the “fast deadlines.” A standard coverage decision means we will give you an answer within 72 hours after we get your doctor’s statement. A fast coverage decision means we will give you an answer within 24 hours after we get your doctor’s statement. You can get a fast coverage decision only if you are asking for a drug you have not yet received. (You cannot get a fast coverage decision if you are asking us to pay you back for a drug you have already bought.) You can get a fast coverage decision only if using the standard deadlines could cause serious harm to your health or hurt your ability to function. If your doctor or other prescriber tells us that your health requires a “fast coverage decision,” we will automatically agree to give you a fast coverage decision, and the letter will tell you that. If you ask for a fast coverage decision on your own (without your doctor’s or other prescriber’s support), we will decide whether you get a fast coverage decision. If we decide that your medical condition does not meet the requirements for a fast coverage decision, we will use the standard deadlines instead. We will send you a letter telling you that. The letter will tell you how to make a complaint about our decision to give you a standard decision. You can file a “fast complaint” and get a response to your complaint within 24 hours. Deadlines for a “fast coverage decision” If we are using the fast deadlines, we must give you our answer within 24 hours. This means within 24 hours after we get your request. Or, if you are asking for an exception, 24 hours after we get your doctor’s or prescriber’s statement supporting your request. We will give you our answer sooner if your health requires us to. If we do not meet this deadline, we will send your request on to Level 2 of the appeals process. At Level 2, an outside independent organization will review your request and our decision. If our answer is Yes to part or all of what you asked for, we must give you the coverage within 24 hours after we get your request or your doctor’s or prescriber’s statement supporting your request. If our answer is No to part or all of what you asked for, we will send you a letter that explains why we said No. The letter will also explain how you can appeal our decision. Level 1 Appeal for Part D drugs To start your appeal, you, your doctor or other prescriber, or your representative must contact us. If you are asking for a standard appeal, you can make your appeal by sending a request in writing. You may also ask for an appeal by calling IEHP DualChoice Member Services at 1-877-273-IEHP (4347), 8am – 8pm (PST), 7 days a week, including holidays. TTY/TDD users should call 1-800-718-4347. If you want a fast appeal, you may make your appeal in writing or you may call us. Make your appeal request within 60 calendar days from the date on the notice we sent to tell you our decision. If you miss this deadline and have a good reason for missing it, we may give you more time to make you appeal.  For example, good reasons for missing the deadline would be if you have a serious illness that kept you from contacting us or if we gave you incorrect or incomplete information about the deadline for requesting an appeal. You can ask for a copy of the information in your appeal and add more information. You have the right to ask us for a copy of the information about your appeal.  If you wish, you and your doctor or other prescriber may give us additional information to support your appeal. You may use the following form to submit an appeal: Request for Redetermination of Medicare Prescription Drug Denial (PDF) Can someone else make the appeal for me? Yes. Your doctor or other provider can make the appeal for you. Also, someone besides your doctor or other provider can make the appeal for you, but first you must complete an Appointment of Representative Form. The form gives the other person permission to act for you. If the appeal comes from someone besides you or your doctor or other provider, we must receive the completed Appointment of Representative form before we can review the appeal.  Deadlines for a “standard appeal” If we are using the standard deadlines, we must give you our answer within 7 calendar days after we get your appeal, or sooner if your health requires it. If you think your health requires it, you should ask for a “fast appeal.” If you are asking us to pay you back for a drug you already bought, we must give you our answer within 14 calendar days after we get your appeal. If we do not give you a decision within 7 calendar days, or 14 days if you asked us to pay you back for a drug you already bought, we will send your request to Level 2 of the appeals process. At Level 2, an Independent Review Entity will review our decision. If your health requires it, ask for a “fast appeal” If you are appealing a decision our plan made about a drug you have not yet received, you and your doctor or other prescriber will need to decide if you need a “fast appeal.” The requirements for getting a “fast appeal” are the same as those for getting a “fast coverage decision.”  Our plan will review your appeal and give you our decision We take another careful look at all of the information about your coverage request. We check to see if we were following all the rules when we said No to your request. We may contact you or your doctor or other prescriber to get more information. Deadlines for a “fast appeal” If we are using the fast deadlines, we will give you our answer within 72 hours after we get your appeal, or sooner if your health requires it. If we do not give you an answer within 72 hours, we will send your request to Level 2 of the appeals process. At Level 2, an Independent Review Entity will review your appeal. If our answer is Yes to part or all of what you asked for, we must give the coverage within 72 hours after we get your appeal. If our answer is No to part or all of what you asked for, we will send you a letter that explains why we said No. Level 2 Appeal for Part D drugs If we say No to your appeal, you then choose whether to accept this decision or continue by making another appeal. If you decide to go on to a Level 2 Appeal, the Independent Review Entity (IRE) will review our decision. If you want the Independent Review Organization to review your case, your appeal request must be in writing.   Ask within 60 days of the decision you are appealing. If you miss the deadline for a good reason, you may still appeal. You, your doctor or other prescriber, or your representative can request the Level 2 Appeal. When you make an appeal to the Independent Review Entity, we will send them your case file. You have the right to ask us for a copy of your case file. You have a right to give the Independent Review Entity other information to support your appeal. The Independent Review Entity is an independent organization that is hired by Medicare. It is not connected with this plan and it is not a government agency. Reviewers at the Independent Review Entity will take a careful look at all of the information related to your appeal. The organization will send you a letter explaining its decision. If we uphold the denial after Redetermination, you have the right to request a Reconsideration. Fill out the Independent Medical Review/Complain Form available at: https://www.dmhc.ca.gov/FileaComplaint/IndependentMedicalReviewComplaintForms.aspx Deadlines for a “fast appeal” at Level 2 If your health requires it, ask the Independent Review Entity for a “fast appeal.” If the review organization agrees to give you a “fast appeal,” it must give you an answer to your Level 2 Appeal within 72 hours after getting your appeal request. If the Independent Review Entity says Yes to part or all of what you asked for, we must authorize or give you the drug coverage within 24 hours after we get the decision. Deadlines for “standard appeal” at Level 2 If you have a standard appeal at Level 2, the Independent Review Entity must give you an answer to your Level 2 Appeal within 7 calendar days after it gets your appeal. If the Independent Review Entity says Yes to part or all of what you asked for, we must authorize or give you the drug coverage within 72 hours after we get the decision.   If the Independent Review Entity approves a request to pay you back for a drug you already bought, we will send payment to you within 30 calendar days after we get the decision. What if the Independent Review Entity says No to your Level 2 Appeal? No means the Independent Review Entity agrees with our decision not to approve your request. This is called “upholding the decision.” It is also called “turning down your appeal.” If the dollar value of the drug coverage you want meets a certain minimum amount, you can make another appeal at Level 3. The letter you get from the Independent Review Entity will tell you the dollar amount needed to continue with the appeals process. The Level 3 Appeal is handled by an administrative law judge.

e important phone numbers including your Doctor, IEHP DualChoice Member Services, and IEHP’s 24-Hour Nurse Advice Line. Be sure to complete your health risk assessment (HRA). When you first join our plan, you get a health risk assessment (HRA) within 90 days before or after your effective enrollment date.  We must complete an HRA for you. This HRA is the basis for developing your care plan. The HRA include questions to identify your medical, LTSS, and behavioral health and functional needs.  We reach out to you to complete the HRA. We can complete the HRA by an in-person visit, telephone call, or mail. We’ll send you more information about this HRA upon your enrollment with the plan.  If our plan is new for you, you can keep using the doctors you use now for a certain amount of time, if they are not in our network. We call this continuity of care. If they are not in our network, you can keep your current providers and service authorizations at the time you enroll for up to 12 months if all of the following conditions are met:  You, your representative, or your provider asks us to let you keep using your current provider.  We establish that you had an existing relationship with a primary or specialty care provider, with some exceptions. When we say “existing relationship,” it means that you saw an out-of-network provider at least once for a non-emergency visit during the 12 months before the date of your initial enrollment in our plan. We determine an existing relationship by reviewing your available health information available or information you give us. We have 30 days to respond to your request. You can ask us to make a faster decision, and we must respond in 15 days. You or your provider must show documentation of an existing relationship and agree to certain terms when you make the request. Note: You can only make this request for services of Durable Medical Equipment (DME), transportation, or other ancillary services not included in our plan. You cannot make this request for providers of DME, transportation or other ancillary providers. After the continuity of care period ends, you will need to use doctors and other providers in the IEHP DualChoice network that are affiliated with your primary care provider’s medical group, unless we make an agreement with your out-of-network doctor. A network provider is a provider who works with the health plan. Our plan’s PCPs are affiliated with medical groups or Independent Physicians Associations (IPA). When you choose your PCP, you are also choosing the affiliated medical group. This means that your PCP will be referring you to specialists and services that are affiliated with their medical group. A medical group or IPA is a group of physicians, specialists, and other providers of health services that see IEHP Members. Your PCP, along with the medical group or IPA, provides your medical care. This includes getting authorization to see specialists or medical services such as lab tests, x-rays, and/or hospital admittance. In some cases, IEHP is your medical group or IPA.

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.

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.

Rights and Responsibilities Upon Disenrollment Ending your membership in IEHP DualChoice (HMO D-SNP) may be voluntary (your own choice) or involuntary (not your own choice) You might leave our plan because you have decided that you want to leave. There are also limited situations where you do not choose to leave, but we are required to end your membership.Chapter 10 of your IEHP DualChoice Member Handbook tells you about situations when we must end your membership. When can you end your membership in our plan? Because you get assistance from Medi-Cal, you can end your membership in IEHP DualChoice at any time. Your membership will usually end on the first day of the month after we receive your request to change plans. Your enrollment in your new plan will also begin on this day. How to voluntarily end your membership in our plan? If you would like to switch from our plan to another Medicare Advantage plan simply enroll in the new Medicare Advantage plan. You will be automatically disenrolled from IEHP DualChoice, when your new plan’s coverage begins. If you would like to switch from our plan to Original Medicare but you have not selected a separate Medicare prescription drug plan, you must ask to be disenrolled from IEHP DualChoice. There are three ways you can asked to be disenrolled: You can make a request in writing to us. Contact IEHP DualChoice Member Services if you need more information on how to do this.

You should continue to use our network pharmacies to get your prescriptions filled until your membership in our plan ends. Usually, your prescription drugs are only covered if they are filled at a network pharmacy including through our mail-order pharmacy services. If you are hospitalized on the day that your membership ends, you will usually be covered by our plan until you are discharged (even if you are discharged after your new health coverage begins). If you no longer qualify for Medi-Cal or your circumstances have changed that make you no longer eligible for Dual Special Needs Plan, you may continue to get your benefits from IEHP DualChoice for an additional two-month period. This additional time will allow you to correct your eligibility information if you believe that you are still eligible. You will get a letter from us about the change in your eligibility with instructions to correct your eligibility information. To stay a member of IEHP DualChoice, you must qualify again by the last day of the two-month period.

If you let someone else use your membership card to get medical care. Our plan is only for people who qualify for both Medicare and Medi-Cal. If you lose your Medi-Cal eligibility and you are within our plan’s 3-month period of deemed continued eligibility, we will continue to provide all Medicare Advantage plan-covered Medicare benefits. However, during this period, we will not continue to cover Medicaid benefits that are included under the applicable Medicaid State Plan. Medicare cost-sharing amounts for Medicare basic and supplemental benefits do not change during this period. The State or Medicare may disenroll you if you are determined no longer eligible to the program. IEHP DualChoice (HMO D-SNP) is a HMO Plan with a Medicare contract.
