Notice of Proposed Purchased/Referred Care Delivery Area Redesignation for Ysleta Del Sur Pueblo

摘要

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 Ysleta Del Sur Pueblo ("YDSP" or "Tribe") to include the Dona Ana County of New Mexico. The current PRCDA for YDSP includes the Texas counties of El Paso and Hudspeth. While recent PRCDA listings have not included Hudspeth County, this was a clerical error and unintentional omission that the IHS has corrected. YDSP 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 YDSP Tribal members and beneficiaries to receive PRC services.
