1 HPHCURRENT EVENTS Eastern Harmony: A Review and 2015 Updates Harvard Pilgrim s innovative Eastern Harmony program is introducing some key changes for 2015, including acupuncture benefits and a visiting family benefit. Harvard Pilgrim s Eastern Harmony program combines Western medicine with traditional Eastern practices to provide a cross-cultural range of benefits. It is an allencompassing approach to wellness, complementing routine PCP visits and preventive care with alternative methods based in a rich history of Eastern health principles. In partnership with Healthways WholeHealth Networks, Harvard Pilgrim offers members up to 30% savings on alternative services from a variety of practitioners, including: Chiropractors Acupuncturists Ayurvedic practitioners Chinese herbal medicine Tai chi and qigong instructors Reiki and shiatsu practitioners Yoga and Pilates instructors What s new in 2015? Harvard Pilgrim now offers acupuncture benefits to most fully insured members of our Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire and Connecticut HMO, PPO, and POS products. Many of our members like to combine their regular treatments with acupuncture to help with a variety of conditions, such as headaches, low back pain, knee pain, osteoarthritis, and certain side effects of chemotherapy. As of 2015, up to 20 visits for the services of acupuncture specialists will be covered per year (copayments, deductibles, and coinsurance may apply). If your practice includes an acupuncturist who would like to participate, please visit the Healthways website (click on the Nominate a practitioner link at the bottom of the page) for information on the nomination and credentialing process. Harvard Pilgrim also introduced visiting family medical coverage. Recognizing that many Asian and South Asian Americans have family members overseas that may occasionally visit for extended periods of time, Harvard Pilgrim has partnered with IMG (International Harvard Pilgrim Health Care 1 Network Matters March 2015
2 Medical Group) to provide temporary medical coverage to international travelers visiting family and friends in the United States. IMG s customer service features include multilingual claims settlement and a secure website where members can search for providers, view the status of claims, and chat live with representatives. You may provide health care services to a visiting family member with IMG coverage if you are part of the IMG network; in this case, you can recognize these members by their IMG member ID card, which also includes claims submission information. For questions on the details of our visiting family health care coverage offerings, your patients should visit For questions about Harvard Pilgrim s Eastern Harmony program, please contact EasternHarmony@harvardpilgrim.org. *Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, through its affiliate HPHC Insurance Agency, Inc. makes referrals for travel medical insurance to International Medical Group (IMG). HPHC Insurance Agency receives a commission for each individual it refers to IMG who is subsequently enrolled into its plan. Harvard Pilgrim Health Care does not underwrite or bind individuals to coverage offered by IMG. Such coverage is not in any way connected to health coverage offered through Harvard Pilgrim Health Care or its affiliates. CLINICIAN CORNER Prior Authorization Required for Cosentyx Effective immediately, Harvard Pilgrim is now covering the medication Cosentyx with prior authorization on the Premium formularies. Cosentyx is a newly-approved IL-17A antagonist indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

4 Members Rights and Responsibilities Harvard Pilgrim members receive a copy of the Members' Rights and Responsibilities upon enrollment, and all clinicians receive a copy at the time of contracting and credentialing and annually thereafter. Periodically, Harvard Pilgrim includes this information in Network Matters. Please take a moment to review. Because this information may vary among states, please be sure to read the full Rights and Responsibilities page of the Provider Manual. Members have a right to: Receive information about Harvard Pilgrim, its services, its practitioners, and providers, and members' rights and responsibilities Be treated with respect and recognition of their dignity and right to privacy Participate with practitioners in decision-making regarding their health care Engage in a candid discussion of appropriate or medically necessary treatment options for their conditions, regardless of cost or benefit coverage Voice complaints or appeals about Harvard Pilgrim or the care provided Make recommendations regarding the organization s members' rights and responsibilities policy Members have a responsibility to: Provide, to the extent possible, information that Harvard Pilgrim and its practitioners and providers need in order to care for them Follow the plans and instructions for care that they have agreed on with their practitioners Understand their health problems and participate in developing mutually agreed-upon treatment goals to the degree possible. Caregiver Stress and Substance Abuse Providing around-the-clock care to a loved one in need can be a source of immense emotional strain; such caregiver stress sometimes results in a pattern of substance abuse by the caregiver. Harvard Pilgrim Health Care 4 Network Matters March 2015
5 Not only does stress-related substance abuse present a myriad of physical and emotional health problems for your patient it also prevents this patient from providing proper care to his/her loved one. If you are treating a patient who is a caregiver, it s important to watch for a possible occurrence of this type of selfmedication. Watching for signs A regular well visit with a caregiving patient is a good opportunity to gauge the potential for adverse emotional or physical effects of the role, and to check for signs of any worrisome coping behaviors. PCPs may want to ask some casual probing questions hinting at symptoms of caregiver stress or associated harmful reactive activities like abuse of alcohol or other drugs. These preventive measures can play a vital role in identifying and addressing stressdriven substance abuse before it becomes a full-blown addiction. Oftentimes, a problem of this nature starts out as something as simple as a drink to unwind after a long day of providing care before developing into a more serious dependency. Alcohol abuse could stem from depression or anxiety resulting from the stress of caregiving, or as a way to make up for the diminished opportunity for social interaction. Because caregivers tend to put the needs of their ill or aging loved one ahead of their own, they may internalize stress and turn to alcohol or prescription or psychotropic drugs, to deal with their feelings of helplessness or being overwhelmed. Coordinating with behavioral health specialists Patients exhibiting the signs of alcohol or drug abuse or other concerning behaviors triggered by caregiver stress should be referred to a behavioral health clinician for further treatment. How Optum/UBH can help your patients For complex clinical situations, Optum/UBH is available to provide consultative assistance. Practitioners can call the Optum/UBH Physicians Consultation Service at To refer a patient for behavioral health services and to facilitate the coordination of care, call Optum at Harvard Pilgrim Health Care 5 Network Matters March 2015
