IHS PRC 院外醫療費：轉介不等於付款批准，先核對資格及通知要求 | IHS Purchased/Referred Care: a referral is no... - INL3 保險新聞台 - 10-05-2026 IHS PRC 院外醫療費：轉介不等於付款批准，先核對資格及通知要求 IHS 的 Purchased/Referred Care（PRC）處理在 IHS 或部落醫療設施以外提供的醫療及牙科服務；直接在相關設施就醫則屬 Direct Care。PRC 不是自動享有的權利，即使已有醫療轉介，也不能據此假設費用必定獲支付。 每次使用須核對部落身分／關係、居住範圍、通知、當時資助的醫療優先項目，以及其他可用付款來源。通常須先使用適用的 Medicare、Medicaid、私人保險等，PRC 才可能作最後付款來源。緊急情況一般須於 72 小時內通知 PRC；長者及因身心狀況無法通知者另有延長規則，應立即聯絡當地 PRC 辦公室確認。不要為等候費用批准而延誤緊急就醫。 官方來源： https://www.ihs.gov/forpatients/prc/ https://www.ihs.gov/prc/eligibility/requirements-eligibility/ 查閱日期：2026-10-04（美國太平洋時間）。本篇為參考指南，並非即時新聞；原文首次刊登日期未能確認。 圖片：2026 年 Albuquerque 城市資料照，僅作美國地區背景；並非部落醫療設施或 PRC 患者。 Quintin Soloviev · CC BY 4.0 · 2026-03-23.

English IHS Purchased/Referred Care: a referral is not payment approval IHS Purchased/Referred Care (PRC) concerns medical and dental care provided outside an IHS or tribal facility; care at those facilities is Direct Care. PRC is not an entitlement, and a medical referral does not establish that IHS will pay the bill. Each request must satisfy tribal affiliation, residence, notification, currently funded medical priorities and use of available alternative resources. Applicable Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance and other resources generally come first, with PRC potentially the payer of last resort. Emergency notification is generally required within 72 hours; extended rules apply to older adults and people whose disability prevents notification. Contact the local PRC office promptly about the applicable rule. Do not delay emergency care while waiting for payment approval.
