Policy Brief: 100% FMAP for Urban American Indians and Alaska Natives

Urban Indian Health Programs (UIHP) are currently attempting to gain eligibility for Medicaid’s 100% Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP) payment for their IHS eligible patients receiving services at UIHPs. Confusion about 100% FMAP exists due to the complexity of the administration of 100% FMAP and constraints around the methods available to add UIHPs as qualifying facilities eligible for 100% FMAP. This policy brief serves to clarify the facts and to challenge some misconceptions about 100% FMAP eligibility for UIHPs.
