Tribal Health Clinic Notice
The Tribal Health department has started to bill
private insurance companies for visits to the clinic. This will
help members in two ways: It will help the Health Department
collect revenue that will be put back into the clinic, and it will
help members get their deductible met. Some members may
have already received an explanation of benefits from their
insurance companies for the tribal Health Clinic showing
what the insurance has paid and what has gone to meet
deductible. It will also show a patient balance. Patients do
not need to worry about this amount. Tribal members being
seen in the clinic will not be charged the balance not covered
by insurance.
In order for the Health Department to bill an
insurance company, they need tribal members to bring in
their insurance information or a copy of their insurance card
when they come into the clinic. It would also help a great
deal if patients filled out the PAO-21 (yellow health form)
completely. With your employer, insurance name, policy
number, and social security number.
The health Department will also start to bill patient's
insurance for their dental visits. If you have a different
insurance for your dental, please let the Health Department
know. If you have any questions please call Mary Brickell,
1-800-775-0095 or 879-2000.
(Please see related health stories on page 11.)
