Reports Reports on Medicaid

Tribal and IHS health programs There are 29 federally recognized Tribes in Washington State. All 29 have funding from the Indian Health Services to provide health care services. Three of the 29 tribes have programs operated by the federal Indian Health Services: the Spokane Tribe, Confederated Tribes of Colville and the Yakama Nation. Most of the remaining 26 tribes operate comprehensive health programs, 20 have medical clinics, most have behavioral health programs (mental health and chemical dependency), and 18 of the 29 tribes have dental clinics.

Findings Patients There were 21,332 patients with paid claims at the 25 Tribes reviewed here. About 3,000 are non-Indian patients. About 18,000 are American Indians or Alaska Natives.

23 Tribes payments ( 2 with over 65% non-Indian patients removed) Removing the two Tribes with very high percentages of Non-Indians results in a difference of about 3,000 fewer patients and $12 million less in annual payments for the year One of two is 90% chemical dependency with no medical program.

The average percentage of patients who are American Indian or Alaska Native of all tribes is 85%. Six tribes have over 1/3 non-Indian patients. The vast majority (19 of 25) of Washington Indian Health Programs are Indian- operated and largely serving Indian patients.

Washington Indian Health Programs have a wide variation in the amount of services they provide for: Medical Dental Mental Health Chemical Dependency This chart ranks according to percentage of total payments for Medical, the following chart, by percentage behavioral health.

Washington Indian Health Programs have a wide variation in the amount of services they provide for: Medical Dental Mental Health Chemical Dependency This chart ranks by which have highest percentage of Behavioral Health (combining mental health and CD)

Distribution of Medicaid Payments by Encounter Type for 23 Tribes Distribution of payments between the four encounter types For most tribes Medical payments represent the largest percentage of payments of the four encounter types. For all 23 tribes it is 41% of total payments, followed by Mental Health at 34%, Chemical Dependency at 13% and Dental payments at 12% of total Medicaid payments.

2011,2012,2013 Paid Claims for AIANs Surprisingly, 2011 ($39 million) payments for Indian Patients were higher in 2011 than in 2013 ($38.4 million). The loss of adult dental coverage is the main reason for reduced payments. $52 Million Payments in 2014

Increase (AIANs)

2014 Medicaid Paid Claims

Medicaid as a Percentage of Active Users The chart depicts a wide range; from high of 62% to low of 15%. Average 32%

Conclusions The finding of increases is mainly inclusive of all tribes, but significant variation is also evident, particularly when comparing the four encounter types. Some of the variations are easily explained, such as the expected increase in patients covered by Medicaid and increase in payments thanks to the 2014 restoration of adult dental coverage and expanded eligibility. Individual tribes are likely to be very keen to know how their experience varies from others and for some it will point to opportunities for improved Medicaid payments and coverage.
