CMS Serving American Indians and Alaska Natives in California
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Serving American Indians and Alaska Natives in California Serving American Indians and Alaska Natives Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) staff work with beneficiaries, health care providers, state government, CMS contractors, community groups and others to provide education and address questions in California. American Indians and Alaska Natives If you have questions about CMS programs in relation to American Indians or Alaska Natives: • email the CMS Division of Tribal Affairs at [email protected], or • contact a CMS Native American Contact (NAC). For a list of NAC and their information, visit https://go.cms.gov/NACTAGlist Why enroll in CMS programs? When you sign up for Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, or Medicare, the Indian health hospitals and clinics can bill these programs for services provided. Enrolling in these programs brings money into the health care facility, which is then used to hire more staff, pay for new equipment and building renovations, and saves Purchased and Referred Care dollars for other patients. Patients who enroll in CMS programs are not only helping themselves and others, but they’re also supporting their Indian health care hospital and clinics.

Urban Indian Health
ISSUE BRIEF November 2001 URBAN INDIAN HEALTH Prepared by Ralph Forquera, M.P.H. The Seattle Indian Health Board for The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author would like to thank Sima Patel for assistance in obtaining data from the 2000 Census as well as Andy Schneider, Yvette Roubideaux, and Marsha Lillie-Blanton for their review and comments on drafts of this paper. In addition, The Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured (KCMU) is due a special thanks for its funding support and encouragement to undertake this project. Issue Brief: Urban Indian Health Few people realize that the majority of American Indians and Alaska Natives in the United States are now living in American cities, not on reservations. Yet, Federal health care policy toward American Indians and Alaska Natives continues to focus largely on the needs of those living on reservations in rural areas—needs that, despite demonstrable progress since the creation of the Indian Health Service (I.H.S.) in 1955, remain substantial (Kauffman et al., 1997). The purpose of this Issue Brief is to describe the large and growing urban Indian population, their health status, and the major federal health programs (i.e., I.H.S. and Medicare) and federal-state programs (i.e., Medicaid and Child Health Insurance Program) that are available to improve Native Americans’ access to needed health services.1 In setting forth the circumstances of urban Indians, this Issue Brief does not intend to suggest that the health care needs of Indian people living in rural areas are in any way less compelling.
