The State of Tennessee assures the provision of child health assistance to targeted low-income children in the State who are American Indians and Alaska Natives (as defined in section 4(c) of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act, 25 U.S.C. 1603(c)). Enrollees identified as being an American Indian and Alaska Natives will not be charged copayments. The State of Tennessee does not have any recognized tribes; however, the CoverKids program is coordinating with the Director of Indian Affairs in the state to ensure Native American families are aware of the opportunity to enroll their children in CoverKids. The Director of Indian Affairs has been informed about CoverKids and the cost sharing exemptions for Native American children so that he may tell families with whom he has contact about the program. He will also be provided with outreach materials to share with those families. In addition, CoverKids is pursuing with him contacts for federally recognized tribes located in neighboring states so that we can determine how best to reach their members who reside in Tennessee.
