Bill overview
This bill, the Urban Indian Health Parity Act, aims to ensure that urban Indian health organizations receive the full federal funding they are entitled to when providing healthcare services. Currently, these organizations often receive a reduced federal match rate. The bill would amend existing law to guarantee a 100% federal medical assistance percentage for services provided through urban Indian organizations funded by the Indian Health Service. This would help improve access to healthcare for Native American communities living in urban areas.
