The health spending account (HSA) gives tribal citizens control of when and where health care services are obtained. Citizens 65 and older, or permanently disabled on Medicare, are eligible to receive reimbursement for up to $200 of approved health care expenses per month. Required enrollment application is available at the above address. Citizens can apply up to three months prior to turning 65 years old.

Covered services are:
Premiums for Medicare Part B and/or D; medical, vision or dental insurance premiums or deductibles; doctor’s visit co-payments; preventive care and prescription medicine.

The maximum monthly benefit is $200. This benefit enables citizens to obtain insurance coverage that will then help with a wide variety of services. Reimbursement may be for coverage already in place, or for planned, future services.

This benefit is especially helpful if used for Medicare Part D (prescription drug coverage). Once on Medicare Part D, the citizen will also be eligible to participate in the new Prescription Mail Order Program.

The Chickasaw Nation Division of Health values the health and wellness of all Chickasaw citizens. The Chickasaw Services at Large programs were created as a direct result of citizen feedback.

Citizens living outside the Chickasaw Nation boundaries can take advantage of these services offered by CNDH. The prescription mail order program, the health spending account program and the eyeglasses program are just a few that help to serve the needs of our citizens at large.
