GroundRules
42 CFR 431.110: Participation by Indian Health Service facilities.
Where this section sits in the code
- Title 42—Public Health
- CHAPTER IV—CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
- SUBCHAPTER C—MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
- PART 431—STATE ORGANIZATION AND GENERAL ADMINISTRATION
- Subpart C—Administrative Requirements: Provider Relations
(a) Basis. This section is based on section 1902(a)(4) of the Act, proper and efficient administration; 1902(a)(23), free choice of provider; and 1911, reimbursement of Indian Health Service facilities.
(b) State plan requirements. A State plan must provide that an Indian Health Service facility meeting State requirements for Medicaid participation must be accepted as a Medicaid provider on the same basis as any other qualified provider. However, when State licensure is normally required, the facility need not obtain a license but must meet all applicable standards for licensure. In determining whether a facility meets these standards, a Medicaid agency or State licensing authority may not take into account an absence of licensure of any staff member of the facility.
