Dear Friend,
I wanted to share some exciting news with you. On an annual basis, the Maryland HealthChoice Program issues a “Report Card” to show how each HealthChoice Managed Care Organization (MCO) compares to one another in important areas of performance, such as Access to Care and Keeping Kids Healthy. Jai Medical Systems Managed Care Organization is pleased to announce that our MCO received the highest ratings of any MCO; receiving 16 out of 18 stars. No other MCO came close this performance! Please see below for the full report card.
Thank you for your continued membership with Jai Medical Systems, one of the Highest Rated MCO’s in the United States.
Sincerely,
TyNeisha Thornton

Summer Allergies
Summer is here and it has brought with it an increase pollen. Pollen, which comes from trees, weeds, flowers, and grass, is a well known cause of allergies in both children and adults.
Do you have allergies? 1 in 3 adults and 1 in 4 children in the United States have allergies. Some symptoms of allergies include: runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing, coughing, itchy eyes and nose, as well as dark circles under your eyes.
How can I control my allergies? There are a few things that you can do this summer to keep your allergies under control including:
-
- Stay inside when pollen count and smog levels are high. Check your local forecast for this pollen count and smog level information daily!
- Keep doors and windows closed, because pollen travels by wind.
- Use an air purifier.
- Replace or clean air filters often; either monthly or quarterly.
- Keep up with your cleaning checklist; wash bedding, vacuum carpet or rugs, wipe down outside surfaces that may collect pollen.
- Schedule an appointment with your Primary Care Provider to discuss alternative solutions for your allergies, such as allergy medication.

Hepatitis C: Testing and Treatment
Hepatitis C is a liver disease characterized by inflammation that, if left untreated, can lead to cirrhosis, liver cancer, and liver failure. Often times, those infected with the disease are unaware that they have Hepatitis C. It is important for individuals to know their status when it comes to Hepatitis C, because there is a cure for this disease. Those who may be at risk for this disease include baby boomers, individuals who have had a blood transfusion, or users of injected drugs. If you fall into one of these categories, be sure to ask your Primary Care Provider about being tested for Hepatitis C at your next appointment. If you would like more information about Hepatitis C testing and treatment, please contact our Hepatitis C Hotline today at 410-403-1814.

Well Child Visits: What to Expect
It is important that your baby receive regular “Well Child” check-ups with your Pediatric Primary Care Provider (PCP). The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all new parents take their children to at least 12 checkups during the first three years of life.
During a well child visit, your child’s PCP will review your child’s health, aspects of their development, and provide any necessary vaccines. Your PCP may also screen your child for health problems; either through blood work or by asking health-related questions. These visits are also a good opportunity for you to ask any questions that you may have related to your child’s health and development.
Your child’s PCP will develop and recommend a schedule for your child’s
healthcare. Often times, Well Child visits are recommended at the following ages:
-
- 3 to 5 days old.
- By 1 month.
- 2 months.
- 4 months.
- 6 months.
- 9 months.
- 1 year.
- 15 months.
- 18 months.
- 2 years.
- 30 months.
- 3 years.
After age 3, Well Child visits are usually scheduled once a year.
If you are in need of an appointment for your child or transportation assistance for your child’s appointment, please contact our Customer Service Department today at 1-888-JAI-1999.
