Description

The Urban Indian Health Programs (UIHP) consist of 34 non-profit 501(3) (c) programs nationwide. The programs are funded through grants and contracts from the I.H.S., under Title V of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act, PL 94-437, as amended. Approximately 45% of the UIHPs receive Medicaid reimbursement as Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC), and others receive fees for service under Medicaid for allowable services, i.e. behavioral services, transportation, etc.
