comments by October 30, 2012 to Liz Heintzman at the <strong>National</strong> <strong>Indian</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Board</strong> at EHeintzman@nihb.org.<br />

Goal 2: CMS enacts and implements policy through regulation, guidance, review and enforcement to align CMS programs to serve AI/AN by<br />

improving enrollment processes, assuring access to care, having efficient payment systems, and increasing the I/T/U capacity to deliver integrated,<br />

comprehensive programs.<br />

Objective 2a – CMS will work with the TTAG to develop a global approach to funding enrollment assistance provided by the I/T/U and eligibility determinations for all<br />

CMS programs.<br />

Task 1: Evaluate the number of States and Tribes using<br />

MAM to fund enrollment assistance and other<br />

approaches for assisting AI/AN who use I/T/U facilities<br />

to enroll in CMS programs through the health insurance<br />

exchange websites, and ways to simplifying<br />

applications and approvals for enrollment.<br />

Task 2: Develop mechanisms for the I/T/U to receive<br />

Navigator or other funding from the Federallyfacilitated<br />

Exchanges, the partnership exchanges and<br />

the state exchanges.<br />

Task 3: Consider alternative sources of funding for the<br />

I/T/U to assist AI/AN to enroll in CMS funded programs,<br />

including Medicaid, Medicare and dual eligibles.<br />

Task 4: Streamline systems to offer aggregate payment<br />

options and<br />

remove any barriers to Tribes and others paying<br />

premiums for enrollment in CMS programs.<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Objective 2b – To maximize access to care and coordination of services for AI/ANs, CMS will work with the TTAG to develop processes to assure that the I/T/U can<br />

choose to be network providers for managed care organizations that deliver services with funding from Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP and <strong>Health</strong> Insurance Exchanges.<br />

Task 1: Develop a prototype <strong>Indian</strong> Addendum that<br />

can be used with managed care provider contracts in all<br />

CMS programs.<br />
