MAKE YOUR HEALTH A PRIORITY
The Health and Human Services Department (HHS) facilitates a variety of health and social services to eligible members of the Tribe and their families.
Purchased/Referred Care and Patient Care Services
As a Purchased/Referred Care Services (PRC) provider Coyote Valley provides supplementary financial assistance for direct care medical, dental, and hospital claims to eligible members. Services under PRC are limited and subject to change in accordance with health care priorities or levels as adopted by the Department.
​
In order to provide services to members and their families that may not meet the requirements under Purchased/Referred Care Services (PRC), the Tribe has established a program for patient care services that fall outside the priorities of the grant. Tribal Members and eligible spouses, including those that do not live within the service area prescribed under PRC, may be eligible for services under this program.
​
To apply for services with the Coyote Valley Health Program submit a completed Application for Health Services.

Outreach Program
The Outreach Program is a coordinated health care program designed to enhance the quality of life for the people served. The program provides a continuum of health care services through the implementation of treatment plans, case coordination with direct service providers, referral follow-up, and various other support services to its participants. An on-staff Community Health Representative is on the front-line providing health care maintenance and preventive health services and is a vital link to health care resources.
