✆
In plain English
S. 1055, sponsored by Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD), extends the deadline for notifying the Indian Health Service's Purchased/Referred Care program about emergency medical care received outside IHS facilities from 72 hours to 15 days. The bill does not apply to elderly or disabled individuals, who retain the existing 30-day notification requirement. The change allows patients, their representatives, or medical providers more time to alert the program about emergency services before seeking payment authorization.
