What is Contact Health Service?
Contract Health Service (CHS) is a
federally funded program to assist eligible patients financially with
specialized care that is not directly available from Creek Nation Clinics
or Creek Nation Community Hospital. Assistance depends on
eligibility, residence, medical priorities, alternate resources and
availability of funding.
The Creek Nation CHS program also
contracts with specialty care physicians, hospitals, diagnostic groups and
other health care providers to treat our patients at prearranged fees.
The Contract Health Service Program
is funded yearly with federal funds by the Department of Health and Human
Services (DHHS). Not all referrals for specialty care can be paid by Creek
Nation Contract Health Services, because the funding received cannot
accommodate every need of every patient. Medical priorities have
been established for determining which referrals can be authorized for
payment.
