Indian Health Service Emergency Claims Parity Act

Introduced·5/4/26

Indian Health Service Emergency Claims Parity Act modifies notification requirement for emergency care claims.

The Indian Health Service Emergency Claims Parity Act amends the Indian Health Care Improvement Act to change the notification requirement for emergency contract health services. Specifically, it extends the time limit for notifying the Indian Health Service of emergency medical care or services provided by non-Service providers or in non-Service facilities to at least 15 days. This change aims to ensure that Indian beneficiaries have adequate time to report emergency treatments or admissions.
