Gear up for a Healthy Fall
Dear Friend,
Thank you for your continued membership with Jai Medical Systems, the highest rated Managed Care Organization in Maryland, according to the MCO Consumer Report Card for 2024. As you know, Fall is here, and with it comes the start of cold and flu season. Here are a few reminders to help keep you healthy this Fall:
- Visit Your Primary Care Provider (PCP): Annual well visits with your PCP give you an opportunity to ask questions about your health as well as review how your health status is changing from year to year. If you have not seen your PCP yet this year, please make an appointment to see them as soon as possible and earn your Healthy Reward!
- Get Recommended Seasonal Vaccines: Your PCP may recommend certain vaccines to protect you from illnesses and viruses that are typically seen this time of the year, such as the Flu vaccine. For more information about the flu vaccine and where to get it, please see page 3 of this newsletter.
- Maintain your Health Insurance Benefits: We want to ensure that you maintain your health insurance benefits with Jai Medical Systems. It is important to have health insurance coverage especially when you are seeking to access care at your PCP’s office, visiting urgent care or the Emergency Room, or when filling a prescription. For more information on how and when to renew your Medicaid benefits, please see page 2 of this newsletter.
If you have any questions, or need assistance, please feel free to contact our Customer Service Department at 1-888-JAI-1999.
Wishing you a Healthy Fall,
