Notice of Proposed Purchased/Referred Care Delivery Area Redesignation for the Sac and Fox Nation of Missouri in Kansas and Nebraska

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 the Sac and Fox Nation of Missouri in Kansas and Nebraska (Sac and Fox Nation of Missouri, or Tribe) to include the counties of Doniphan and Jackson in the State of Kansas, and Holt in the State of Missouri. The current PRCDA for the Sac and Fox Nation of Missouri includes Brown County, Kansas, and Richardson County, Nebraska. The Sac and Fox Nation of Missouri 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 Sac and Fox Nation of Missouri members and beneficiaries to receive PRC services.
