PR #8257 adds the currently available Indian Health Service coverage proxy, has_indian_health_service_coverage_at_interview, to the Medicaid community engagement exclusion rollup. That still does not fully model the American Indian and Alaska Native exclusion described in the guidance.
Scope:
- Confirm whether the modeled exclusion should be AI/AN status, IHS eligibility, IHS receipt, tribal health service eligibility, or some combination.
- Decide whether PolicyEngine needs a new person-level input for AI/AN status or IHS eligibility.
- Avoid using is_on_tribal_land as a person-level proxy unless the limitation is explicit.
- Extend Medicaid CE tests to cover the chosen input and keep the existing IHS coverage case.
Out of scope:
- State-specific outreach or verification workflow.
- County or geography-based approximations unless explicitly documented as a proxy.
