Tribal citizens have control of when and where health care services are obtained. Citizens 65 and older, or permanently disabled on Medicare, are eligible to receive reimbursement for up to $300 of approved health care expenses per month.

Covered services are:
Premiums for Medicare Part B and/or D; medical, vision or dental insurance premiums or deductibles; doctor’s visit co-payments; preventive care and prescription medicine.

The maximum monthly benefit is $300. This benefit enables citizens to obtain insurance coverage that will help with a wide variety of services. Reimbursement may be for insurance coverage already in place or qualified ongoing medical expenses.

This benefit is especially helpful if used for Medicare Part D (prescription drug coverage). Once on Medicare Part D, the citizen will also be eligible to participate in the new Prescription Mail Order Program.
