Help for Holiday Blues
This reminder has gone out to HPSJ Providers - PLEASE HELP SPREAD THE WORD

While the holidays are a time of joy, they can sometimes be a time of increased stress, loneliness, and anxiety. Health Plan of San Joaquin reminds our Providers -- as well as our Community Partners -- that Beacon Health Options is the behavioral health (BH) partner of HPSJ.

Beacon Health Options is available to:
  • Screen and help connect patients to appropriate mental health services
  • Access Beacon’s PCP decision support service
No PCP referral and no prior authorization are required. Connection to Mental Health Services is as easy as:
  1. HPSJ Provider calls Beacon for referral
  2. Provider can refer directly to Mental Health Provider
  3. HPSJ Member can call Beacon

HPSJ, Here to Help 
For those rare times
when your provider may not be reachable
If you or someone close is feeling unwell this holiday season, here's our nurse advice line supplement to HPSJ provider services. If the HealthReach advice nurse cannot help, a HealthReach doctor may be consulted.

Message from HPSJ Chief Medical Officer Lakshmi Dhanvanthari, MD –
For all those who missed the October start of the flu season, you still can help protect yourself and loved ones from the flu if you get the vaccine – as always, your best defense. Just be sure to get it as early as possible during this flu season.

The flu virus is spread from one person to another before a person has symptoms and after you have symptoms. Infants and older adults can have severe complications and bad outcomes from flu. So to stay healthy and to prevent others from getting the flu it is important to get the flu vaccine. It also is important to keep in mind that the flu spreads when someone coughs, sneezes or talks.
