See attached solicitation for details, 75H70423Q00034.
The Purchased/Referred Care (PRC) Program, in the IHS Office of Resources, Access, and Partnerships (ORAP) is integral to providing comprehensive health care services to American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN). The Indian Health Service (IHS) health system delivers care through direct care services provided in IHS, Tribal, and urban (I/T/U) health facilities (e.g., hospitals, clinics) and through PRC services provided by non-IHS providers. The general purpose of PRC is for IHS and Tribal facilities to purchase services from private health care providers in situations where: 1) no IHS or Tribal direct care facility exists; 2) the existing direct care element is incapable of providing required emergency and/or specialty care; 3) utilization in the direct care element exceeds existing staffing; and 4) supplementation of alternate resources (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance) is required to provide comprehensive health care to eligible AI/AN).
