To this end, the work conducted under this cooperative agreement will address the potential and actual impacts of CMS’ programs on AI/ANs and the health care system serving these beneficiaries. CMS’ understanding of the impact of its policies is vital to improving greater AI/AN access to and participation in CMS’ programs; improving and ensuring that appropriate health care payments and resources are provided to IHS tribal, and urban Indian Health program providers; and contributing to overall improved health outcomes for Indian people.
