28 Effective Date: July 1, 2001

Approval Date: be subject to the same eligibility criteria as other low-income children. MPA has coordinated with and will continue to work with representatives of the Tribes in the state of Washington, urban Indian organizations, and Indian advocacy groups, including the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board, the American Indian Health Commission, and the DSHS Indian Policy Advisory Committee, to develop outreach programs and methods that specifically target AI/AN children. CHIP has been, and will continue to be, a regular agenda item at meetings with these groups.

CHIP policy will mirror MPA Medicaid enrollment policy for AI/AN children. AI/AN clients are not required to enroll in HO plans. Instead, AI/AN children may choose a managed care plan, an Indian clinic operating as a primary care case manager (PCCM), or fee-for-service.
