Purchased Referred Care

In medical emergencies when a patient is away from an IHS or tribal healthcare facility or during instances when the Twelve Clans Unity Hospital cannot provide a full range of healthcare, the Purchased Referred Care Program may be available to pay for care administered by private or external healthcare providers. The PRC Program is considered the payer of last resort and requires patients to exhaust all health care resources available to them from private insurance, state health programs, and other federal programs (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance) before the PRC program can provide payment.  There are several requirements before a patient can be authorized for the program.  Please call 402-878-2231 for more information and a brochure detailing the Purchased Referred Care Program.
