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. State-by-state assistance Find information about coverage and Indian health facilities in your state. The map in the center of this booklet shows the location of these facilities.
