Indian Health Service December 17, 2024 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

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 Chippewa Cree Tribe of the Rocky Boy's Reservation ("Chippewa Cree Tribe" or "Tribe") to include the Montana county of Cascade. The current PRCDA for the Chippewa Cree Tribe includes the Montana counties of Choteau, Hill and Liberty. Chippewa Cree 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 Chippewa Cree Tribal members and beneficiaries to receive PRC services.
