Eligibility for Creek Nation Health Services must be established through Contract Health Service (CHS).

Eligibility Criteria

• Must be eligible for direct patient care services provided by tribally operated clinics and/or IHS facilities.  An individual is eligible if they are of Indian descent and a member of a federally recognized tribe.
• Patient must reside within the Creek Nation CHS service area.  (Please see map identifying the service boundary.)  The CHS boundary is established by the Indian Health Service and does not include the entire Creek Nation jurisdictional area.
• Out-of-state residents are not eligible for CHS funds.
• You must use all other resources to pay for your medical care, such as Medicare, Medicaid, VA, Worker's Comp, Title 19, Sooner Care, automobile insurance, and/or group health insurance.
• CHS IS A PAYOR OF LAST RESORT.  This is a federal regulation we have to adhere to use all other resources available.

Non-Indians may be eligible in these situations:

• A non-Indian woman who is pregnant with an eligible Indian's child through pregnancy and postpartum.
• A non-Indian member of an eligible Indian's household who resides within the CN service area is eligible for CHS if the Medical Officer in charge determines that services are necessary to control a public health hazard or an acute infections disease.
• A non-Indian under 19 years of age who is an adopted child, step-child, foster-child, legal ward or orphan of an eligible Indian.
