Eligibility to Participate in Federal and State Health Care Programs
Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP) is prohibited from issuing payment for services provided, ordered, or prescribed by an individual or entity that is excluded, ineligible, or terminated from participation in State and Federal health care programs in accordance with regulatory and contractual requirements.
IEHP conducts regular reviews of Federal and State exclusionary databases and lists, including but not limited to:

GSA Excluded Parties List System (EPLS)
DHCS Medi-Cal Suspended and Ineligible Provider List

Exclusion Screening
IEHP has implemented a screening process to identify individuals and entities that appear on the DHHS OIG LEIE, the GSA EPLS, the CMS Preclusion List and the DHCS Medi-Cal Suspended and Ineligible Provider List prior to appointment, contracting, and/or employment and monthly thereafter to ensure that none of these individuals or entities are excluded, ineligible or terminated from participation in State and Federal health care programs.
Delegated entities must implement a screening program for employees, Board Members, contractors, and business partners to avoid relationships with individuals and/or entities that tend toward inappropriate conduct.
This program includes but is not limited to:
Prior to contract and monthly thereafter, review of the GSA System for Award Management (SAM), the Department of Health Care Services Medi-Cal Suspended and Ineligible list, and the Office of Inspector General’s (OIG) List of Excluded Individuals and Entities (LEIE) that are excluded from participation in government health care programs (42 CFR §10011901).

Fraud, Waste, and Abuse (FWA)
IEHP has established a Fraud, Waste, and Abuse Program to detect, correct, and prevent fraud, waste, and abuse on part of Team Members, IEHP Members, Providers, Vendors, delegated entities and any other entity doing business with IEHP.
Fraud Prevention
Fraud Prevention, it’s a Team Effort
In an effort to prevent fraud and abuse, IEHP encourages Providers and their staff to report any suspicious circumstances when they arise. You may want to ask for another form of identification in addition to the IEHP Member identification card. Identification with both a picture and a signature, such as a valid driver’s license or State identification card, are suggested. We are informing Members of this concern and are requesting that they have additional identification available when they come to you. To obtain more compliance guidelines, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) offers assistance (by clicking on this link you will be leaving the IEHP website).
Fraud is knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme or artifice to defraud any health care benefit program, or to obtain, by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises, any of the money or property owned by, or under the custody or control of, any health care benefit program.
Examples include:
Knowingly billing for services or prescriptions not furnished or supplies not provided
Knowingly altering claim forms for a higher payment
Selling medicine, medical equipment, or other things received through IEHP
Waste includes overuse of services, or other practices that, directly or indirectly, result in unnecessary costs. Waste is generally not considered to be caused by criminally negligent actions but rather by the misuse of resources.
Examples include:
Conducting excessive office visits
Writing excessive prescriptions or ordering excessive tests
Prescribing more medications than necessary for the treatment of a specific condition
Abuse includes actions that may, directly or indirectly, result in unnecessary costs and improper payment or services. Abuse involves payment for items or services when there is no legal entitlement to that payment and the provider has not knowingly and/or intentionally misrepresented facts to obtain payment.
Examples include:
Billing for unnecessary medical services or medical equipment
Billing for brand name drugs when generics are dispensed
Misusing codes on a claim, such as upcoding and unbundling codes.

Privacy Incident/Breach
IEHP has established a HIPAA Privacy Program to ensure that Member’s health information is properly protected while allowing the flow of health information needed to provide and promote high-quality health care.
A privacy breach is defined as unauthorized acquisition, access, use, or disclosure of protected health information (PHI) which compromises the security or privacy of such information.
PHI is health information that relates to a Member’s past, present or future physical or mental health or condition, including the provision of his/her health care, or payment for that care and contains personally identifiable information (PII) such as name, SSN, DOB, Member ID, address, or any other unique identifier related to the Member.
This generally means that a breach occurs when PHI is accessed, used, or disclosed to an individual or entity that does not have a business reason to know that information. The law does allow information to be accessed, used, or disclosed when it is related to treatment, payment, or healthcare operations directly associated with the work that we do at IEHP on behalf of our Members.

Ultimas noticias - IEHP gana el premio HERO Business of the Year contra el bullying
premio HERO Business of the Year de 2022 de Riverside Medical Clinic Charitable Foundation (RMCCF) en su evento anual de recaudación de fondos del 18 de agosto. RMCCF también reconoció con el premio HERO a la Gerente de Socios de la Comunidad de IEHP, LuAnna Jáuregui, por su excepcional cooperación y por encarnar lo que significa ser un verdadero héroe. Los premios anuales del Programa HERO reconocen a las organizaciones y las personas que demuestran liderazgo y esfuerzos excepcionales por apoyar y promover la amabilidad, la empatía y la inclusión en la comunidad. Durante los últimos cuatro años, IEHP se ha asociado con RMCCF y los programas de su Anti-Bullying Institute para ayudar a los niños, los padres, las escuelas y las organizaciones para jóvenes a lidiar con el bullying. “IEHP ha sido socio de la fundación en la comunidad durante muchos años. Recibieron nuestro premio HERO Business of the Year de 2022 por su generoso apoyo a nuestros programas en crecimiento”, dijo Lynda Bailey, Directora Ejecutiva de RMCCF. “Continúan comunicándose con nosotros abiertamente para ayudarnos a cubrir las necesidades de nuestra comunidad. Ellos hacen que nuestra organización, que es pequeña, pero poderosa, se sienta escuchada y apoyada”. Durante más de 25 años, IEHP ha trabajado incansablemente para hacer “lo correcto” por las comunidades de Inland Empire a las que sirve, promoviendo colaboraciones que hagan énfasis en la buena voluntad y la inclusividad. “IEHP está comprometido con ayudar a promover una cultura donde la amabilidad, la empatía y la inclusión sean la norma, no la excepción”, dijo Jarrod McNaughton, Director Ejecutivo de IEHP. “Nos sentimos honrados de haber recibido este premio, y también felicitamos con orgullo a LuAnna Jáuregui, miembro del equipo, por su bien merecido reconocimiento por sus incansables esfuerzos para hacer una diferencia en nuestras comunidades”. LuAnna Jáuregui tiende puentes y ayuda a facilitar la colaboración en nombre de IEHP. También ha participado ampliamente en los esfuerzos de RMCCF de prevención del bullying, ya que tiene un lugar especial en su corazón. “Apoyar la amabilidad y la inclusión en Inland Empire significa que más de mis vecinos y amigos, y las familias y sus hijos tienen la oportunidad de vivir alegremente”, dijo Jáuregui. “Recibir este reconocimiento de RMCCF es verdaderamente un honor y espero seguir trabajando juntos, trayendo aún más compasión a nuestra región”.

MediCal - Utilization Management Criteria
e. IEHP has created UM Subcommittee Approved Authorization Guidelines to serve as one of the sets of criteria for medical necessity decisions. Our goal in creating this page is to provide you with easily accessible electronic versions of IEHP’s UM guidelines. IEHP utilizes a variety of sources in developing our UM guidelines which include:
Medicare and Medi-Cal’s coverage policy statements
Evidence in the peer-reviewed published medical literature
Technology assessments and structured evidence reviews
Evidence-based consensus statements
Expert opinions of healthcare Providers
Evidence-based guidelines from nationally recognized professional healthcare organizations and public health agencies.
IEHP is also licensed to use MCG Guidelines, Apollo Medical Review Criteria, and InterQual to guide in utilization management decisions.
Since medical technology is constantly evolving, our clinical guidelines are subject to change without prior notification. Additional UM Subcommittee Guidelines may be developed as needed or may be withdrawn from use.
Please note that benefits may vary based on Member’s line of business; therefore, certain services discussed in the UM Subcommittee Guidelines may not be a covered benefit.
Table of Contents (PDF)
Providers may obtain information about criteria, either in general or relating to specific UM decisions, from IEHP upon request by contacting the IEHP UM Department. Please contact the IEHP Provider Relations Team at (909) 890-2054 to be connected to the UM Department.

MediCal - purchasing-department
Procurement department is continuously looking for suppliers of the varied goods and services it procures. IEHP procures goods and services through the solicitation process, and in the case of repetitively purchased items, establishes long-term contracts. With the exception of Public Works (construction type bids) and a few specialty bids, most bids for goods and services procured are completed using a third-party solicitation website called Bonfire. Vendors have the option to view IEHP’s open solicitations on the Bonfire website. IEHP invites all vendors to register with Bonfire and participate in IEHP’s fair and open solicitation process for goods and services.
Mission Statement
The Procurement department is committed to supporting the mission of IEHP, which is “to organize and improve the delivery of quality, accessible and wellness based healthcare services for our community”. As a community-developed health plan, we are accountable to the public.
IEHP’s Procurement professionals possess the necessary skill set, knowledge base, and negotiating skills to assist IEHP with the acquisition of materials, equipment and contractual services. Utilizing this expertise, our best procurement practices, and the highest standards of professional ethics and integrity, we ensure that procurement decisions made are in the best interest of IEHP and in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and policies.

IEHP accepts disputes from providers if they are submitted within 365 days of receipt of IEHPs decision (for example, IEHPs Remittance Advice (RA) indicating a claim was denied or adjusted).
Submission of Provider Disputes
When submitting a provider dispute, a provider should use a Provider Dispute Resolution Request form. If the dispute is for multiple, substantially similar claims, complete the spreadsheet on page 2 of the Provider Dispute Resolution Request Form
All Provider Disputes and supporting information must be submitted to:
IEHP Claims Appeal Resolution Unit
PO BOX 4319
Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91729-4349
Acknowledgement of Provider Dispute
IEHP acknowledges receipt of each provider dispute, regardless of whether the dispute is complete, within 15 business days of receipt.
Resolution Timeframe
IEHP resolves each provider dispute within 45 business days following receipt of the dispute, and provides the provider with a written determination stating the reasons for determination.
PDR Determination Resulting in Additional Payment
If IEHP determines to pay additional monies based on information originally provided and/or available at the time the claim was first presented to IEHP for adjudication, or a result of a processing error IEHP will automatically include the appropriate interest amount if payment is not issued within required regulatory timeframes.

Emergency and Post-Stabilization Care for IEHP Members
Triage and Advice Systems
IEHP provides Members triage, screening, and advice services by telephone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week through its Nurse Advice Line (NAL). By calling the NAL, Members receive assistance with access to urgent or emergency services from an on-call physician, or licensed triage personnel. IEHP Members can reach this 24/7 Nurse Advice Line at (888)-244-IEHP (4347) or 711 (TTY).
Post-Stabilization Care
IEHP requires contracted and non-contracted hospitals to obtain prior authorization for post-stabilization care for Members (patients). IEHP requests the patient’s diagnosis as indicated by the treating physician or surgeon and any other information reasonably necessary for the Plan to decide on whether to authorize post-stabilization care or to assume management of the patient’s care by prompt transfer to another facility. The hospital should request prior authorization from IEHP’s Utilization Management (UM) Department by:
Phone at (866) 649-6327; or
Fax at (909) 477-8553 to send clinical notes for medical necessity review.
IEHP makes every effort to respond to requests for necessary post-stabilization care within thirty (30) minutes of receipt. The services are considered approved if IEHP does not respond within this timeframe. All subsequent hospital day are subject to review for medical necessity.
IEHP will inform the provider of the Plan’s decision and will coordinate the transfer of the Member if IEHP denies the request for authorization of post-stabilization care and elects to transfer the Member to another health care provider.
Non-Emergency Services
If a Member presents at the emergency department for non-emergency services, please refer the Member to their IEHP Member Handbook, section 3 (How to Get Care), which outlines the process for obtaining a referral.

Provider Referral Outside of the IEHP Network
In cases where an out-of-network provider that has been approved to provide service(s) to an IEHP Member and needs to refer said IEHP Member to another out-of-network provider, the approved out-of-network provider must first contact the Member’s IPA to request the referral. The Member’s IPA will review the request for referral and provide a decision within regulatory timeframes. The Member’s IPA will approve the request if it is deemed medically necessary and if IEHP or the IPA does not have an appropriate alternative provider available within its network.
If you have any questions or if you would like to request a referral, please reach out to the Member’s IPA.
