American Indians or Alaska Natives


American Indian and Alaska Native children do not have to pay premiums.  If you receive a premium bill from DSHS, call the Medical Assistance Customer Service Center right away.  Their telephone number is 1-800-562-3022.

American Indian or Alaska Native children have 3 ways to get medical care.  You can:

1. Sign up for a health plan, if one is available in your county, and get your childrens health care from the doctors and other providers who are part of that plan.

2. Sign up for a Primary Care Case Manager Indian Health Service, Tribal, or urban clinic. A list of Primary Care Case Manager clinics and health centers is below and in the Healthy Options packet sent in the mail.

3. Choose fee-for-service. This means that you do not have to sign up for a health plan or a Primary Care Case Manager clinic. If you choose fee-for-service, you can go to any doctor or other provider who agrees to take your childrens medical ID card.

If you also have children who are not American Indian or Alaska Native, you can sign them up for the same Primary Care Case Manager if the Primary Care Case Manager says it is okay.
