This bill would change Medicaid rules so that the federal government pays 100 percent of the federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP) for services provided through an urban Indian organization. The change applies when the urban Indian organization is operating under a grant or contract with the Indian Health Service (IHS) under the Indian Health Care Improvement Act. The amendment is to section 1905(b) of the Social Security Act.
If you get health services from an urban Indian organization that has an IHS grant or contract, this bill would make those Medicaid-covered services fully federally funded under FMAP rules. The bill text says this applies only to services provided through urban Indian organizations under IHS grants or contracts. No publicly available information on other changes.
The bill sets the FMAP at 100 percent for covered services provided through qualifying urban Indian organizations, which means the federal share would be full for those services as described in the text.
