Indian Health Service Emergency Claims Parity Act

Summary

The Indian Health Service Emergency Claims Parity Act seeks to ensure that emergency medical claims filed by the IHS receive the same processing and reimbursement treatment as comparable federal health programs. It is aimed at Native American patients who receive care through the IHS and at the providers who submit those claims. The measure is intended to address perceived disparities in how emergency claims are handled for tribal health services.
