Medicaid’s Crucial Role for American Indian and Alaska Native Communities
NCUIH released a comprehensive overview highlighting Medicaid’s crucial role in providing health care to American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities and the importance of exempting AI/AN beneficiaries from work requirements to fulfill the federal government’s trust responsibility. Urban Indian Organizations (UIOs) serve as vital health care providers, with eight out of the top ten states with the largest number of AI/AN Medicaid beneficiaries using UIOs to provide essential services.
Report: Urban Indian Health at Risk – Federal Funding Disruptions Threaten Critical Services
The NCUIH report regarding the potential impact of federal funding disruptions on Urban Indian Organizations was released in February and offers a comprehensive view of the challenges facing UIOs.Over half of UIOs could not sustain operations beyond six months without federal funding and anticipate discontinuing critical services if federal funding disruptions persist. We urge policymakers and health care leaders to recognize the vital role of UIOs in the Indian health system and take immediate action to ensure their continued operation and funding stability.
