The Indian Health Service (IHS) has issued a notice proposing to expand the Purchased/Referred Care Delivery Area (PRCDA) for the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes in Idaho. The expansion would include additional counties, allowing approximately 323 more Tribal members to receive care services. The expansion aligns with criteria such as social and economic ties to the Tribe and geographic proximity to the existing PRCDA. Public comments on this proposal are being accepted until January 15, 2025.
