Affordable Care Act

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Affordable Care Act) contains numerous provisions of importance to American Indians/Alaska Natives. CMS seeks to keep Indian Country informed on the important improvements to health care relevant to CMS programs in Indian Country such as Medicaid expansion and Indian-specific Medicare charges.

CMS' Tribal Affairs Group is hosting  a series of calls the Third Friday of every month discussing Indian-specific provisions in the Affordable Care Act relevant to CMS programs.  Summaries of the calls are posted below as they become available.
