Are Indian Health Service (IHS), Tribal and Urban Indian Program (I/T/Us) beneficiaries considered "uninsured individuals" for purposes of the COVID-19 Claims Reimbursement to Health Care Providers and Facilities for Testing, Treatment, and Vaccine Administration for the Uninsured Program?

No. Individuals who are I/T/U beneficiaries are not considered uninsured individuals for the CARES Act Provider Relief Fund.  I/T/Us may submit claims for reimbursement for testing, treatment, and/or vaccine administration they provide to non-I/T/U beneficiaries who otherwise meet the definition of "uninsured individuals" in the Terms and Conditions (Attestation (PDF - 123 KB)) of the Uninsured Program.
