Serving American Indians and Alaska Natives In Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Serving American Indians and Alaska Natives in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island 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. 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 the CMS Native American Contact (NAC). For a list of Native American contacts and their information, visit https://go.cms.gov/NACTAGlist To contact Indian Health Service in these states, contact the Nashville Area Office at 615-467-1500 or at https://www.ihs.gov/nashville/contactus/ 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. This opportunity brings money into the health care facility, which they can use to hire more staff and 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 are also supporting their Indian health care hospital and clinics.

  • Memo to the Biden Administration Transition Team
    Memo to the Biden Administration Transition Team From: Trish Riley, National Academy for State Health Policy Executive Director Re: State-based marketplace strategies for insurance market stabilization and improvement Nov. 20, 2020 The National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP), in close consultation with executives from state-based health insurance marketplaces (SBMs), has developed a list of priority actions that may: ● Lower costs and bring stability to individual and small group health insurance markets; ● Improve access to health insurance coverage; and/or ● Improve consumer experience when purchasing small group or individual market coverage. NASHP is home to the State Health Exchange Leadership Network, a consortium of state leaders and staff dedicated to operation of the SBMs. This list draws upon the experience of SBM leaders who have spent the past decade building and operating successful platforms for the procurement of health insurance coverage. These recommendations reflect NASHP’s collective discussions with SBM leaders, but do not reflect consensus across all SBMs. States value flexibility to design their programs to meet local needs and circumstances. For additional information specific to each state, please see Appendix A, which includes references to comments submitted by SBMs in response to various policy changes. We have also included the contact information for SBM executives who can provide additional information specific to their states. NASHP is ready to provide any additional information that may be helpful as you deliberate critically important issues related to health care coverage. Thank you for your time and consideration.
