Notice of Proposed Purchased/Referred Care Delivery Area Redesignation for the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes

Короткий зміст

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 Shoshone-Bannock Tribes of the Fort Hall Indian Reservation in Idaho to include the Idaho counties of Ada, Bear Lake, Blaine, Bonneville, Butte, Canyon, Cassia, Custer, Elmore, Franklin, Fremont, Gem, Gooding, Jefferson, Jerome, Madison, Minidoka, Oneida, Payette, Teton, Twin Falls, and Washington. The current PRCDA for the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes includes the Idaho counties of Bannock, Bingham, Caribou, Lemhi, and Power. Shoshone- Bannock Tribal 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 Shoshone-Bannock Tribal members and beneficiaries to receive PRC services.
