2-2023 influenza season continues to coincide with circulation of COVID-19 virus (SARS-CoV-2). As of August 2022, approximately 94.2 million cases of COVID-19 had been reported in the United States. Influenza vaccination remains an important tool for the prevention of potentially severe respiratory illness, which helps decrease the stress on the U.S. health care system. IEHP DualChoice members who are 18 years of age or older may obtain flu vaccines through the IEHP Pharmacy Vaccine Network. Vaccine Notice: Access to Pharmacy Vaccine Network (PDF) Frequently Asked Influenza (Flu) Questions: 2022-2023 Season (CDC Recommendations) What’s New for 2022-2023  By clicking on these links, you will be leaving the IEHP website. The composition of flu vaccines has been updated. For the 2022-2023 flu season, there are three flu vaccines that are preferentially recommended for people 65 years and older. These are Fluzone High-Dose Quadrivalent vaccine, Flublok Quadrivalent recombinant flu vaccine and Fluad Quadrivalent adjuvanted flu vaccine. The recommended timing of vaccination is similar to last season. For most people who need only one dose for the season, September and October are generally good times to get vaccinated. Vaccination in July and August is not recommended for most adults but can be considered for some groups. While ideally it’s recommended to get vaccinated by the end of October, it’s important to know that vaccination after October can still provide protection during the peak of flu season. The age indication for the cell culture-based inactivated flu vaccine, Flucelvax Quadrivalent (ccIIV4), changed from 2 years and older to 6 months and older. Pre-filled Afluria Quadrivalent flu shots for children are not expected to be available this season. However, children can receive this vaccine from a multidose vial at the recommended dose.   Mpox Information Mpox Vaccination Locations San Bernardino County: Monkeypox (mpox) – Department of Public Health Riverside County: Mpox Vaccine Locations – Riverside University Health System Please advise members to call before going in for a vaccination as some locations are only available with appointments. Members may make appointments for the JYNNEOS vaccine at https://myturn.ca.gov/. Mpox Testing As of December 8, 2022, no commercial testing is available for the diagnosis of Mpox. Providers may contact CDC in the diagnosis, management of patients with suspected Mpox, and for any additional information regarding Mpox connect with the CDC Emergency Operations Center. Phone: 1-770-488-7100, Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM EST After Hours Phone: 1-404-639-2888 Treatment Mpox patients usually recover fully within 2-4 weeks without the need for medical treatment. While there are no treatments specifically for Mpox, the virus that causes Mpox is similar to the smallpox virus and therefore antiviral drugs developed to protect against smallpox may be used. The antiviral drug, tecovirimat (TPOXX), has been approved by the FDA to treat smallpox in adults and children. If you prescribe tecovirimat to treat members with Mpox the member must sign a consent form stating tecovirimat is an investigational drug that has not yet been approved by the FDA for treatment of Mpox.

s the Medi-Cal Renewal process, is currently underway across our state. This initiative is the biggest challenge facing the Medi-Cal program in its history. Up to 400,000 IEHP Members could potentially lose their Medi-Cal coverage if they don't complete the necessary renewal paperwork on time. The impact on Providers across the entire healthcare system will be significant, potentially resulting in: Increased use of the emergency department for primary care Decreased capacity of bed availability Delays in hospital discharges while awaiting coverage Increased length of stay for patients with delayed preventative or chronic care Increased cost of care Interruptions of ongoing care However, with every challenge comes opportunities to help our collective health care mission and partnership grow even stronger. IEHP takes this challenge seriously and we are committed to helping Members keep their Medi-Cal coverage and Providers keep their assigned Members without interruption.

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.  

e options. These may be offered (instead of state plan-covered services) to qualified Members at medium to high levels of risk. Community Supports can help you remain healthy, reduce complications from illnesses, and avoid unnecessary stays in the hospital, nursing facilities, and emergency departments You may find that Community Supports with IEHP can help during a transition in housing or care. If you need help managing your health, IEHP’s Community Supports might be the right choice. When you need extra care IEHP’s Community Supports are open to any Medi-Cal or IEHP DualChoice Cal MediConnect Plan (Medicare-Medicaid Plan) Member who needs supportive care. Community Supports may nurture your whole health—to care for your body and mind. Members who could benefit from Community Supports may be: Facing times without housing Struggling to get food for their loved ones Having asthma issues and need changes to their living space How your Care Team can help you If you can be helped by Community Supports, you may get a care team that can assist in identifying your needs. Then, they will coordinate no-cost services. This includes finding resources for housing, care after leaving the hospital, and dealing with asthma at home. Who may be on your care team: Nurse Care Manager Behavioral Health Care Manager Care Coordinator Community Health Worker Support when you need it Your care team can assist you by phone or in person, and they can even meet you at your location. You are not alone with IEHP’s Community Supports. What community supports are offered? Asthma Remediation: Environmental Asthma Trigger Remediations are physical modifications to a home environment that are necessary to ensure the health, welfare, and safety of the individual, or enable the individual to function in the home and without which acute asthma episodes could result in the need for emergency services and hospitalization. Community Transition Services/Nursing Facility Transition to a Home: Assist members to live in the community and avoid further institutionalization.These services are non-recurring set-up expenses for individuals who are transitioning from a licensed facility to a living arrangement in a private residence where the person is directly responsible for his or her own living expenses. Environmental Accessibility Adaptations (Home Modifications): Environmental Accessibility Adaptations (EAAs also known as Home Modifications) are physical adaptations to a home that are necessary to ensure the health, welfare, and safety of the individual, or enable the individual to function with greater independence in the home: without which the Member would require institutionalization. Housing Deposits: Housing Deposits assist with identifying, coordinating, securing, or funding one-time services and modifications necessary to enable a person to establish a basic household that do not constitute room and board. Housing Tenancy & Sustaining Services: This service provides tenancy and sustaining services, with a goal of maintaining safe and stable tenancy once housing is secured. Housing Transition Navigation Services: Housing transition services assist Members with obtaining housing. Medically Supportive Food/Meals/Medically Tailored Meals: Malnutrition and poor nutrition can lead to devastating health outcomes, higher utilization, and increased costs, particularly among Members with chronic conditions. Meals help individuals achieve their nutrition goals at critical times to help them regain and maintain their health. Results include improved Member health outcomes, lower hospital readmission rates, a well-maintained nutritional health status, and increased Member satisfaction. Nursing Facility Transition/Diversion to Assisted Living Facilities: Nursing Facility Transition/Diversion services assist individuals to live in the community and/or avoid institutionalization when possible. The goal is to both facilitate nursing facility transition back into a home-like, community setting and/or prevent skilled nursing admissions for Members with an imminent need for nursing facility level of care (LOC). Individuals have a choice of residing in an assisted living setting as an alternative to long-term placement in a nursing facility when they meet eligibility requirements. Recuperative Care (Medical Respite): Recuperative care, also referred to as medical respite care, is short-term residential care for individuals who no longer require hospitalization, but still need to heal from an injury or illness (including behavioral health conditions) and whose condition would be exacerbated by an unstable living environment. An extended stay in a recovery care setting allows individuals to continue their recovery and receive post-discharge treatment while obtaining access to primary care, behavioral health services, case management and other supportive social services, such as transportation, food, and housing. Short-Term Post-Hospitalization Housing: Short-Term Post-Hospitalization housing provides Members who do not have a residence and who have high medical or behavioral health needs with the opportunity to continue their medical/psychiatric/substance use disorder recovery immediately after exiting an inpatient hospital (either acute or psychiatric or Chemical Dependency and Recovery hospital), residential substance use disorder treatment or recovery facility, residential mental health treatment facility, correctional facility, nursing facility, or recuperative care and avoid further utilization of State plan services. Sobering Centers: Sobering centers are alternative destinations for individuals who are found to be publicly intoxicated (due to alcohol and/or other drugs) and would otherwise be transported to the emergency department or jail. Sobering centers provide these individuals, primarily those who are homeless or those with unstable living situations, with a safe, supportive environment to become sober. Day Habilitation Programs: Day Habilitation Programs are provided in a participant’s home or an out-of-home, non-facility setting. The programs are designed to assist the participant in acquiring, retaining, and improving self-help, socialization, and adaptive skills necessary to reside successfully in the person’s natural environment. Respite Services These are provided to caregivers of participants who require intermittent temporary supervision. The services are provided on a short-term basis because of the absence or need for relief of those persons who normally care for and/or supervise them and are non-medical in nature. Personal Care and Homemaker Services This service is provided for individuals who need assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADL), such as bathing, dressing, toileting, ambulation, or feeding. Personal Care Services can also include assistance with Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL), such as meal preparation, grocery shopping, and money management.

s, and other diseases that can make them very sick or even cause death.  How do vaccines work? Vaccines train the body to fight germs that cause disease. When exposed to disease, the body will know how to fight and kill the germs before they cause health problems. This is called immunity against disease. Why so many vaccines? Vaccines are needed in all stages of life. Many are given to infants and young children who need them the most to Grow Well. Vaccines protect against diseases such as: Influenza (Flu) Measles, mumps, rubella Polio Tetanus Varicella (chicken pox) Pertussis (whooping cough) For a complete list of shots, see the Recommended Immunization Schedule for Persons Aged 0-18 (PDF) and Immunization Brochure (PDF).
