How do I enroll in the Indian Health Service (IHS)?

Once you know that you are eligible for IHS, contact the patient registration office (“PRO”) at the facility that serves your area. The PRO will help you through the registration process, identify any additional documentation you need to establish your medical record, and then schedule a medical appointment. You should go to the PRO in person and be ready to provide proof of your enrollment as a member of a Federally recognized tribe.[3405]
