Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services: Covering Indian Country [ https://www.cms.gov/Outreach-and-Education/American-Indian-Alaska-Native/AIAN/Outreach-and-Education/index.html ]


June 2024




Spotlight: E3 Pilot Community Development Project


Achieving and maintaining high vaccination rates helps keep tribal communities safe from diseases such as COVID-19, measles, polio, and whooping cough.

That’s why Indian Health Service (IHS), tribal, and urban Indian providers are encouraged to apply the national IHS E3 Vaccine Strategy in day-to-day practice. According to that strategy, *every* patient at *every* encounter should be offered *every* recommended vaccine when clinically indicated.

To further the E3 Vaccine Strategy’s success, IHS recently launched the E3 Pilot Community Development Project [ https://www.ihs.gov/newsroom/ihs-blog/may-2024-blogs/ihs-national-e3-vaccine-strategy-launches-pilot-community-development-project/ ], which supports the sharing of best practices and lessons learned at 28 pilot sites in nine of the 12 IHS areas. The project is intended to help advance the E3 Vaccine Strategy’s objectives in clinical, public, and community health settings.



"As you conduct outreach in tribal communities, share resources to help bolster the work of IHS to increase vaccination rates."



Outreach presents opportunities to talk with people in tribal communities about the range of services that Medicare, Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and the Health Insurance Marketplace cover to promote health and prevent disease.

To that end, we hope you’ll help bolster the work of IHS to increase vaccination rates by:


* Sharing CMS’s checklist of vaccinations [ https://www.cms.gov/outreach-and-education/american-indian-alaska-native/aian/vaccinations-fact-sheet-adults-and-children.pdf ] (PDF, 688 KB, 2 pp)
* Reminding families that Medicaid and CHIP cover vaccinations as preventive health services [ https://www.healthcare.gov/coverage/preventive-care-benefits/ ]
* Referring people to their local Indian health care provider for more information on routine and catch-up vaccinations



June: Men’s Health Month

Health observances



June is Men’s Health Month


Wellness visits are opportunities to get a primary care provider’s guidance in setting and achieving health goals. However, many men do not see a primary care provider regularly.

In observance of Men’s Health Month, please highlight the importance of wellness visits when talking with men in your community about health care coverage.

Also, remind men that cancer screenings and many other preventive health services [ https://www.healthcare.gov/preventive-care-adults/ ] are covered by health insurance.




National HIV Testing Day: June 27


Living with HIV infection is manageable with treatment, and transmission of the virus is preventable. That’s why knowing our HIV status is so important.

As National HIV Testing Day approaches, share a CDC video [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZKGp8OnOSg ] to help people:


* Better understand the results of HIV self-tests [ https://www.cdc.gov/stophivtogether/hiv-testing/self-testing.html?CDC_AA_refVal=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fhivselftesting%2Findex.html ]
* Choose options to keep themselves and their sexual partners healthy

Also, recommend that people use the HIV Testing Sites & Care Services Locator [ https://locator.hiv.gov/ ] to find HIV testing in their area.

Protecting communities from mpox

Mpox, formerly known as monkeypox, is a rare but serious disease that is spread through skin-to-skin contact.

A safe and effective two-dose vaccine is available to help protect communities from mpox. That’s why we encourage you to share a:


* Short animated video titled What You Need to Know About Mpox [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1X3eQwVb-E&t=72s ]
* Fact sheet explaining who should get the mpox vaccine [ https://iasquared.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Mpox-Fact-Sheet-Final.pdf ] (PDF, 54 MB, 2 pp)
* Brief video message from Indian Health Service [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zr6cYCfzzWc&t=101s ] about how mpox vaccination helps Native LGBTQIA2S+ people stay well
