3.  Positively impacts the CHS and Health Plan budget by shifting claims cost to other payers without impacting the members out-of-pocket (both the Tribal Member Plan and the Employer Sponsored Plan)  Impact varies drastically based on:  Number of CHS eligible employees  Number of Tribal Members who have other coverage

4.  The Tribe’s health programs must be self- funded  The health plan documents must have the correct language included  The Tribe and/or the health plan third party administrator (TPA) must correctly manage eligibility  The Tribe’s TPA must understand how to apply and enforce the Payor of Last Resort
