Notice of Proposed Purchased/Referred Care Delivery Area Redesignation for the Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska

Zusammenfassung

This Notice advises the public that the Indian Health Service (IHS) proposes to expand the geographic boundaries of the Purchased/ Referred Care Delivery Area (PRCDA) for the Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska (Iowa Tribe, or Tribe) to include the counties of Jackson in the State of Kansas, and Holt in the State of Missouri. The current PRCDA for the Iowa Tribe includes the Kansas counties of Doniphan and Brown, as well as Richardson County, Nebraska. Iowa Tribe members who reside outside of the PRCDA are eligible for direct care services; however, they are not eligible for Purchased/Referred Care (PRC) services. The sole purpose of this expansion would be to authorize additional Iowa Tribe members and beneficiaries to receive PRC services.
