Long Term Supports and Services Tribal Listening Session— Register Today!

The National Indian Health Board is partnering with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to host a Tribal listening session on long term services and supports (LTSS). We invite Tribal leaders, Tribal technical assistants, Tribal health professionals, and Tribal citizens to attend the session and share recommendations and best practices to improve LTSS in Tribal communities. LTSS are a critical part of the Indian health system for Tribal elders and Tribal citizens with disabilities and/or chronic illness. With limited IHS appropriations to support LTSS, reimbursements from Medicare and Medicaid can help support LTSS in Tribal communities— please join us to share your thoughts and recommendations. To learn more about CMS’s role in LTSS, visit the LTSS Technical Assistance Center. 

Date: September 26, 2024, 2:00 – 4:00 PM ET 

Location: Zoom

Background

Do you or a family member currently have health coverage through Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)?

Is your mailing address up to date?

If so, you may soon need to take steps to find out if you can continue your coverage. Soon, states will resume Medicaid and CHIP eligibility reviews. This means some people with Medicaid or CHIP could be disenrolled from those programs. However, they may be eligible to buy a health plan through the Health Insurance Marketplace ®, and get help paying for it.


Here are some things you can do to prepare.

  • Make sure your address is up to date.
  • Make sure your state has your current mailing address, phone number, email, or other contact information. This way, they’ll be able to contact you about your Medicaid or CHIP coverage.

Get more information

  • Contact your state Medicaid office or visit Medicaid.gov for more information about Medicaid or CHIP renewal.
  • Call the Marketplace Call Center at 1-800-318-2596 to get details about Marketplace coverage. TTY users can call 1-855-889-4325.

Help spread the word to promote COVID-19 vaccination so we can reach community immunity.

We Can Do This. We’re working to promote COVID-19 vaccine confidence, encourage prevention, and support our partners’ efforts to reach their communities.

Through strong partnerships with tribes and urban Indian organizations across Indian Country, the Indian Health Service has administered more than 1 million COVID-19 vaccines in Native communities, but there is still more work to do to reach community immunity.
