We remain dedicated to providing you with quality care in a culturally sensitive manner.

Being local means we interact with you our members and with our providers every day. Our staff is available to you 24-hours a day, seven days a week. And we have never forgotten that our membership is our most important asset; we take great pride in serving you and your family s health care needs.

2 Medicare Stars Team Community Health Group created a new team in April This team is dedicated to serving our Cal MediConnect members. We have 10 Medicare Service Specialists to help you with your health plan needs. The team members make home visits to help explain your health care benefits. If you have questions about your Cal MediConnect benefits or need any assistance accessing care, please call our MediConnect team for help! Cal MediConnect Team toll free 24 hours a day, 7 days a week Utilization Management Program How your health plan makes decisions Our decisions are based on making sure our members have appropriate care and services. Our decision-making is based only on: Is the care or service appropriate? Is the care or service a covered benefit of your specific health plan? When we deny a request for services, we send you and your provider a written notice. The notice states why the request was denied. (2)

3 Utilization Management Program We review and update the clinical criteria we use in making these decisions at least once a year or as needed. We add new developments in clinical practice to our criteria. We want our criteria to be up-to-date and appropriate for our health plan members.

4 Community Health Group teams up with Meals on Wheels for Birthday Meals! Starting April 2016, CHG began offering home delivered meals to Cal MediConnect members in their birthday month. In the month of April, CHG employees and Meals on Wheels volunteers had the opportunity to deliver meals to Cal MediConnect members with a birthday in April. Members were very appreciative of the meal and the volunteers were very happy to provide the service! Quotes: Thank you very much young lady! This is very sweet of you. You are making me feel very special! April Birthday member To me, it was very rewarding, the member was very thankful for the meal, and she had a few questions about her benefits, so I was able to help her with that as well!

7 Prevent Osteoporosis Osteoporosis makes your bones weak and more likely to break. It is a disease of the bone. One in two women and one in four men will break a bone during their life because of osteoporosis. Building strong bones during childhood can help prevent osteoporosis later in life. There is no cure but there are things you can do to prevent, slow or stop its progress. 1. Age 50 and older, get enough calcium (1,200 mg) and vitamin D ( IU s) every day. Foods with lots of calcium are: milk, yogurt, cheese, broccoli, and oranges. For vitamin D: tuna, salmon, liver and egg yolks. 2. Do regular weight-bearing (dancing, walking, running, hiking) and mucle-strengthening (lifting weights/using weight machines) exercises. 3. Do not smoke or have more than two alcoholic drinks a day. 4. Talk to your doctor about your chances of getting osteoporosis. Ask when you should have a bone density test. A bone density test is the best way to see if you have osteoporosis. 5. Take the osteoporosis medication when recommended by your doctor. (7)

8 Telephone Advice Nurse Our Telephone Advice Nurse is like having a nurse in the family! Call our nurses with your questions: How to take care of a problem at home Where to get urgent care How to get a prescription filled Telephone Advice Nurse 24 hours a day, 7 days a week ER or Urgent Care? When to go to It can be hard to decide where to go if you or your child needs quick medical care. Should you go to the Emergency Room or an Urgent Care Center? When to go to the emergency room: An emergency is a medical problem or injury that puts a person s life in danger. Some examples: Bleeding or vomiting that does not stop Loss of consciousness Poisoning Chest pain Major burns Trouble breathing Choking Head injury Minor sprains Ear ache Fevers, colds or bronchitis Insect bites Mild asthma attacks Diarrhea Minor cuts Back pain In a medical emergency, go to the nearest Emergency Room or call 911. Please keep in mind that we have the right to request that you dis-enroll from our health plan if you use the ER for non-emergency services. Telephone Advice Nurse Customer Service (8)

9 How long do you have to wait for an appointment? Type of appointment Routine doctor visits Physical exams and wellness checkups Initial Prenatal visit Standard Specialty care Urgent care In an emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Please call Customer Service if you have waited too long for access to health care. Medical Bills If you get a medical bill in the mail, don t ignore it! Call Customer Service. We will find out why you received the bill and help resolve the issue. If the bill is for a service covered by your health plan, you should not be billed. Don t let unpaid medical bills get reported to a collection agency and show up on your credit report. Call Customer Service as soon as you can. Call Customer Service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week Your Drug Benefit Community Health Group has a formulary for each health plan we offer. A formulary is a list of drugs that are covered by your health plan. We review and revise this list at least four times per year to stay up-to-date. Financial Incentives The decisions we make about the care and services you receive are based on making sure you have appropriate care and services. The Utilization Management decisions our team makes are based on two factors: Is the care or service appropriate? Is the care or service a covered benefit of your health plan? We do not reward practitioners or others for denying coverage, service or care. Any financial incentives for Utilization Management decisions do not encourage decisions that result in underutilization. For more information, call Customer Service. To see the current formulary for your health plan: Visit our website at or Call Customer Service to have a copy mailed to you. For questions about your formulary or drug benefit, call Customer Service. (9)
