Indian Health Service. The Indian Health Service (IHS) shall not be required to obtain or maintain insurance (including professional liability insurance), provide indemnification, or guarantee that the managed care plan will be held harmless from liability. This is because the IHS is covered by the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA), which means that the United States consents to be sued in place of federal employees for any damages to property or for personal injury or death caused by the negligence or wrongful act or omission of federal employees acting within the scope of their employment. Nothing in the managed care plan network provider agreement (including any addendum) shall be interpreted to authorize or obligate any IHS employee to perform any act outside the scope of his/her employment.
Indian Health Service. (IHS) Hospitals and tribally-operated 638 hospitals who do not file a full Form CMS 2552-10 Medicare Cost Report but rather file an abbreviated Medicare cost report in accordance with Medicare Provider Reimbursement Manual, Part I, Section 2208.1.E (Method E cost report). Governmentally-Operated Hospitals for the Purpose of Certified Public Expenditures
1. The amount of uncompensated care costs associated with providing inpatient and outpatient hospital services to Medicaid individuals (the Medicaid shortfall), and
2. The amount of uncompensated care costs associated with providing inpatient and outpatient hospital services to individuals with no source of third party coverage for the inpatient and outpatient hospital services they received (uninsured costs). The steps to computing the governmentally-operated hospital’s OBRA limit are3:
1. The hospital shall prepare its CMS 2552 Report (cost report(s)). Each hospital must complete the cost report to determine per diems (for inpatient routine services) and ratios of cost to charges (RCC) (for ancillary services). The cost reports must be completed based on Medicare cost principles and Medicare cost allocation process as specified in the CMS 2552 instructions and the CMS Provider Reimbursement Manual, volumes 15-1 and 15-2, including updates.
2. Medicaid shortfall will be calculated based on information available from PMMIS, other AHCCCS financial systems, and the cost report.
3. Uninsured costs will be calculated based on uninsured days and charges and other program data collected by the hospital from its claims and financial records, other systems, and the cost report.
Indian Health Service. States may not regulate the activities of IHS-operated health care programs nor require that IHS health care professionals be licensed in the state where they are providing services, whether the IHS employee is working at an IHS-operated facility or has been assigned to a health care program of a tribe, tribal organization, or urban Indian organization. The parties agree that during the term of the MCO Provider Agreement, IHS health care professionals shall hold state licenses in accordance with applicable federal law, and that IHS facilities shall be accredited in accordance with federal statutes and regulations.
Indian Health Service. (IHS) means the federal agency charged with administering the health programs for American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN) who are enrolled members of federally recognized Indian tribes.
Indian Health Service. The IHS is covered by the FTCA which obviates the requirement that IHS carry private malpractice insurance as the United States consents to be sued in place of federal employees for any damages to property or for personal injury or death caused by the negligence or wrongful act or omission of federal employees acting within the scope of their employment. 28 U.S.C. §§ 2671-2680. Nothing in the MCO Provider Agreement shall be interpreted to authorize or obligate any IHS employee to perform any act outside the scope of his/her employment. The IHS shall not be required to acquire insurance, provide indemnification, or guarantee that the MCO will be held harmless from liability.
