     &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Improving Access to Indian Health Services Act&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill permanently extends certain Medicaid flexibilities relating to Indian health care providers.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Specifically, the bill permanently expands coverage to include clinical services that are furnished outside of a clinic by an Indian Health Service (IHS) facility, a tribe or tribal organization, or an Urban Indian Organization (UIO). Current guidance from the Centers for Medicare &amp;amp; Medicaid Services allows IHS and tribal facilities to receive payment for clinical services provided outside of clinics through October 31, 2021; facilities are expected to work with their state Medicaid programs to transition to other, more permanent payment options for these services.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The bill also permanently establishes a 100% federal matching rate, also known as the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP), for UIO services. Current law provides a 100% FMAP for UIO services during the eight fiscal quarters after March 11, 2021.&lt;/p&gt;

 <p><b>Improving Access to Indian Health Services Act</b></p> <p>This bill permanently extends certain Medicaid flexibilities relating to Indian health care providers.</p> <p>Specifically, the bill permanently expands coverage to include clinical services that are furnished outside of a clinic by an Indian Health Service (IHS) facility, a tribe or tribal organization, or an Urban Indian Organization (UIO). Current guidance from the Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services allows IHS and tribal facilities to receive payment for clinical services provided outside of clinics through October 31, 2021; facilities are expected to work with their state Medicaid programs to transition to other, more permanent payment options for these services.</p> <p>The bill also permanently establishes a 100% federal matching rate, also known as the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP), for UIO services. Current law provides a 100% FMAP for UIO services during the eight fiscal quarters after March 11, 2021.</p>
