Programs - Clinics

According to the U.S. Indian Health Service (IHS), Urban Indian Health Programs (UIHP) consist of 34 non-profit programs nationwide that are funded through grants and contracts from the IHS under Title V of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act, as amended. The purpose of the Act is to establish programs in urban centers to make health services more accessible to urban Indians. The IHS reports that approximately 45 percent of these urban programs receive Medicaid reimbursement as Federally Qualified Health Centers. Others receive fees for service under Medicaid for allowable services such as behavioral services and transportation. Services provided by IHS and urban health programs may include the following: information, outreach and referral, dental services, comprehensive primary care services, limited primary care services, community health, substance abuse (outpatient and inpatient services), immunizations, health promotion and disease prevention, and health programs funded through other state, federal, and local resources; for example, Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), Social Services, Medicaid, and Maternal Child Health. This section provides contact information for regional IHS Urban Indian Health Program Branch (UIHPB) Coordinators, and Urban Indian Health Programs across the United States.
