Dear USET/USET SPF Family,
Tomorrow, April 3rd, 2024, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is holding Tribal consultation to obtain input on pending section 1115(a) demonstration proposals for Medicaid reimbursement for Traditional Health Care Practices provided by qualifying providers at IHS and Tribal facilities. At the webinar, CMS will provide information and seek input on its framework for potential coverage of Traditional Health Care Practices.
CMS is seeking input on the scope of coverage of Traditional Health Care Practices that could be provided at IHS and Tribal facilities, recommendations on provider qualifications and monitoring and evaluation criteria. CMS has stated that this framework must be finalized before they will approve any waivers for traditional healing services.
The consultation will be held April 3rd, 2024 from 3:00 - 4:00 pm ET. Interested participants may register here. CMS will accept written comments until April 24, 2024 at tribalaffairs@cms.hhs.gov.
For more information, please contact Ashton Martin, USET SPF Health Policy Analyst, at amartin@usetinc.org.
