2 Facts to know before administering flu vaccine For the flu season, the recommendations for using the influenza vaccine remain unchanged, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). However, consider these points from the CDC/ACIP: 1. Routine flu vaccination: Recommended for all adults and children 6 months of age and older. 2. Children: Those 6 months-8 years old require two doses of influenza vaccine administered a minimum of four weeks apart during their first season of vaccination to optimize immune response. In a study of children 5-8 years old who received trivalent inactivated vaccine (TIV) for the first time, the proportion of children with protective antibody responses was much higher after two doses than after one. 3. Flu strains: The seasonal flu vaccine virus strains in the U.S. are the same as those in the vaccine. These include A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)-like, A/Perth/16/2009 (H3N2)- like, and B/Brisbane/60/2008-like antigens. The influenza A (H1N1) vaccine virus strain derives from a 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1). 4. Allergic reactions: Allergy to eggs must be distinguished from allergy to influenza vaccine. Severe allergic and anaphylactic reactions can occur in response to a number of influenza vaccine components. However, such reactions are rare. Adverse events in adults: Four deaths caused by anahylaxis following influenza vaccine from were reported to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS). The vaccine components potentially responsible for these reactions were never reported. Regardless of the component suspected to be responsible, a prior severe allergic reaction to influenza vaccine is a contraindication to receipt of influenza vaccine. Vaccine choice for persons age 65 and older: As with other influenza vaccines for , Fluzone High-Dose will contain the three recommended virus strains (A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)-like, A/Perth/16/2009 (H3N2)-like, and B/Brisbane/60/2008-like antigens). ACIP recommends all persons aged 65 and over get an inactivated seasonal influenza vaccination. However, ACIP has yet to express a preference for Fluzone High-Dose or any other inactivated influenza vaccine for use in persons aged 65 or older. It is unknown whether the higher post vaccination immune responses observed among fluzone High- Dose vaccine recipients will results in greater protection against influenza illness. High-dose vaccine should not be given to anyone under 65. IEHP criteria for using LAIV and intradermal vaccine: There are no recommendations for prioritization of LAIV or intradermal vaccine use. When considering vaccination of healthy, non-pregnant persons for the appropriate age group, ACIP has expressed no preference for LAIV, intradermal or TIV. In most cases, Providers should use TIV over LAIV or intradermal. Reimbursement: Eligible children age 6 months - 18 years should get a flu vaccine via the Vaccine for Children (VFC) program. IEHP will reimburse practitioners cost of the vaccine for members of IEHP Medi-Cal (over 18 years), Healthy Families, Healthy Kids, Medicare DualChoice (HMO SNP).

4 How to better serve seniors and people with disabilities With more seniors and people with disabilities (SPDs) becoming IEHP members, you can polish, update and strengthen your abilities to serve them through our training program. IEHP teaches the vital skills you need to successfully serve and care for this growing segment of our membership who will be seeking out your services. Our training covers Communication, Ways to Make Your Office More Accessible, Local Disability Resources, plus the latest changes in Medi-Cal. What you gain: Develop a fresh perspective on serving people with disabilities Improve the physician-patient relationship Learn how to interact with people with disabilities Make SPDs feel more welcomed by making your office more accessible Lean how to comply with the requirements set by the American with Disabilities Act IEHP provides you this training online or on site. For details, call the Provider Services Team. Changes in claims, encounters for which affects claims and encounter submissions will replace 4010 as the primary healthcare data-sharing format among Providers and health plans nationwide. The change takes effect January 1, The change moves healthcare providers towards adopting ICD-10 which will replace all ICD-9 diagnosis codes in fall of Tips to using 5010: On all claims and encounters, use your correct NPI (Provider identifier) Except for the pay-to address, use a Billing Provider Address (a physical address) only. Remind coders and claims/encounter vendors to use the right address on claims and encounter forms. When reporting Billing Provider and Service Facility locations, use a 9-digit zip code. To find the 4-digit extension to your standard zip code, go to action For more on 5010, go to Providers/Information+Resources/HandbooksandManuals/EDIManual.htm Why your diabetic patients need eye exams Diabetes is the leading cause of new cases of blindness for adults ages 20-74, according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC). Almost all patients with Type 1 diabetes and most of those with Type 2 diabetes, the most common type, will someday experience signs of retinopathy. However, a retinal or dilated eye exam may detect retinopathy before vision loss becomes untreatable. All IEHP members diagnosed with diabetes qualify for a retinal or dilated exam annually. No referral is needed. How you can help: Remind your diabetic IEHP patients to get an eye exam from any IEHP optometrist. How to find an IEHP Optometrist: Direct your IEHP patients to the IEHP website. Under Find a Doctor, there are 183 optometrists to choose from all over the Inland Empire. As an option, your IEHP patients can call IEHP Member Services for assistance. The visit: No prior authorization from a PCP is needed for one visit within a 12-month period. With the patient in the office, the staff of the optometrist calls IEHP to authorize the visit. Then the optometrist can perform the screening exam after authorization. 4
5 The IEHP Care Management Team More seniors and people with disabilities are joining IEHP. This growing segment includes people with multiple chronic conditions like diabetes, obesity and even behavioral health issues. To serve them, we use a coordinated, multidisciplinary approach that looks at the whole person. Our Care Management Team provides tools and resources to help you improve the quality of care and the efficiency of resource use for people with complex health care needs. 1. Health Management Program Who is it for? IEHP high-risk pregnant members and those with asthma or diabetes. How it works: Through encounters, claims, pharmacy data and referrals, we identify members with asthma, diabetes or high-risk pregnancy. These members automatically become eligible for Health Management Programs but can opt out of the program. When your patients sign up for the Health Management program, they receive: A nurse to discuss any problems or questions regarding their condition Educational information for their specific health condition An individualized Care Plan that supports their personal self-management goals Resources from IEHP (or the community) to enhance their health How it benefits you: You get access to a personal Care Plan for your IEHP patients, plus updates on their progress and health conditions. When one of your IEHP patients enroll in the program, we send you a copy of their Personal Care Plan to review. 2. Complex Care Management This department has a program to help you manage your IEHP patients complex healthcare needs. Who is it for? Any IEHP patient with complex care needs. How it works: With you, we coordinate care and services for your IEHP patients, the specialist, any community agencies, and/or the patients caregivers. The CCM staff works with you, the patients and/or their caregiver to develop a care plan and sends you a copy of the plan to review with your patient. How it benefits you: You spend less time planning and coordinating your patients care. Instead, you have more time to treat them. You know their needs are being met. 3. Model of Care Who is it for? IEHP Medicare DualChoice (HMO SNP) members. How it works: To coordinate services, the IEHP Care Management Team works with you, your patients (and any caregivers), specialists and outside community agencies. After conducting a health risk assessment, we stratify your patient into a low, moderate or high risk level. Then we develop a care plan. A care manager focuses on what the patient needs now or for the short and long term. Whether your IEHP patient transitions from home to hospital, transferred to a nursing facility or sent home, a nurse informs the patient of any change in their care plan. We encourage patients to share their discharge instructions with you. How it benefits you: It helps prevent critical care situations by advocating for patients. As a result, we promote healthy lifestyles while reducing costly care. How to refer an IEHP patient: call Provider Relations (909)
