BACKGROUND

MORE THAN TWO-THIRDS OF CHS CLAIMS WERE PAID WITHIN 6MONTHS BUT SOME TOOK MUCH LONGER TO PAY

IHS HAS THREE TIMELINESS MEASURES FOR PROCESSING PROVIDER PAYMENTS, BUT THE TWO INVOLVING PURCHASE ORDER ISSUANCE DO NOT PROVIDE A CLEAR PICTURE OF TIMELINESS

COMPLEXITY OF THE CHS PROGRAM, CHS STAFFING AND FUNDING AVAILABILITY, AND VARIATIONS IN PROGRAM PRACTICES CAN AFFECT THE TIMELINESS OF PAYMENTS TO PROVIDERS

NEW COVERAGE OPTIONS IN PPACAMAY PROVIDE IHS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SIMPLIFY CHS ELIGIBILITY RULES
