Winter 2022 HealthBeat

Happy Holidays from your friends at Jai Medical Systems

Dear Member,

We hope that you have enjoyed the gifts of the season thus far as we prepare for a healthy and happy New Year!  We have some very important information to share with you regarding the dental benefits for adult members — your dental coverage is changing.

On January 1, the Maryland Healthy Smiles Dental Program will cover your dental care. The program covers a wide range of dental services for adults 21+.  There are no premiums, deductibles, or copays for covered services. There is no maximum benefit amount each year.

Some of the benefits and services covered include regular checkups, teeth cleaning, fluoride treatments, x-rays, fillings, root canals, crowns, pulling teeth – extractions, and anesthesia.

In the new year, you will get more information in the mail. You will get a member handbook and ID card. They will be in two mailings. The member ID card will have a dental home on it. A dental home is the dentist you can see. But you can see any dentist that takes Maryland Healthy Smiles. To learn more, call Maryland Healthy Smiles Member Services at 1-855-934-9812.

If you have any questions about this benefit change, or other general questions, please feel free to contact a member of our dedicated Customer Service Department at 1-888-JAI-1999. On behalf of Jai Medical
Systems, I want to wish you a safe and happy holiday season.

Sincerely,

TyNeisha Smith

Director of Customer Service

 


Be on the lookout for the CAHPS survey! 

Please be on the lookout for the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) survey over the next few weeks.  This survey is designed to find out what you think about your health plan, Jai Medical Systems. The CAHPS survey results are compared against other Managed Care Organizations throughout the State and Nation. For the 2022 Adult CAHPS, we received 174 responses and for the Pediatric CAHPS we received 189 responses. The Adult CAHPS results showed that our “Overall Health Plan Rating” is 56.80%. Our highest performing areas for adults included “How Well Doctors Communicate” at 93.90% and “Customer Service” at 93.15%. For the 2022 Pediatric CAHPS, we received an “Overall Health Plan
Rating” of 71.20% and the highest performing area was “How Well Doctors Communicate” at 96.83%.

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your valuable feedback and for participating in these surveys! If there are any areas where you feel that you cannot rate us highly, please do contact our Customer Service Department at 1-888-524-1999 so that we may address your concerns. Jai Medical Systems also gives you an opportunity to provide feedback on an annual internal survey. For 2021, the overall satisfaction rate was 91% from this survey.  This survey was sent out with our Fall 2022 HealthBeat newsletter. If you have not completed our survey yet, please take some time to complete this survey and mail it back in the postage paid envelope.
