All Tribes Calls

The Tribal Affairs Group (TAG) within the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will hold All Tribes' Calls on a bi-weekly basis on Fridays, at 1-2pm ET.  The topics for the calls will be identified and developed as the Affordable Care Act is implemented and information will be presented by subject matter experts using cleared materials.  Please plan to call in approximately fifteen minutes prior to the call and identify yourself by name and tribe.  There will be limited lines available so to the extent possible, please share a phone line.  

The CMS calls are not considered consultation but rather technical listening. The purpose of the calls is to solicit input from IHS, Tribal, and urban programs on how the provision impacts AI/AN beneficiaries and the operation of the Indian health program delivery system.    After each call, CMS will make available a summary of the provision or provisions discussed and the major issues and questions asked on the call.    These summaries will be posted in the download section below.   In addition, TAG has established a mailbox for participants on the calls to submit additional questions, feedback, and suggestions for future topics to be discussed on the calls. That mailbox is tribalaffairs@cms.hhs.gov
