Bill > HR4722

This bill seeks to amend the Social Security Act to provide full federal funding (100% Federal Medical Assistance Percentage or FMAP) for healthcare services provided by urban Indian organizations. Specifically, the bill modifies existing law to ensure that healthcare services delivered through urban Indian organizations under grants or contracts with the Indian Health Service receive the same level of federal financial support as services provided directly by tribal organizations. The term "urban Indian organization" is defined in the Indian Health Care Improvement Act and refers to organizations serving Native American populations in urban areas. By providing full federal funding, the bill aims to improve healthcare access and financial support for urban Native American communities, which have historically faced challenges in healthcare funding and service delivery. The bill, known as the "Urban Indian Health Parity Act," represents an effort to address healthcare disparities and ensure more equitable funding for Native American health services in urban settings.
