Tribal Self-Governance Program Planning Cooperative Agreement
The purpose of this Planning Cooperative Agreement is to provide resources to Tribes interested in participating in the Tribal Self-Governance Program (TSGP).
Title V of the ISDEAA requires that a Tribe or Tribal Organization complete a planning phase to the satisfaction of the Tribe.
The planning phase must include legal and budgetary research and internal Tribal government planning and organization preparation relating to the administration of health care programs.
See 25 U.S.C.
458aaa-2(c)(1)(A).
The planning phase helps Tribes to make informed decisions about which PSFAs, or portions thereof, to assume and what organizational changes will be necessary to support those PSFAs.
A thorough planning phase makes the rest of the negotiations process more timely and efficient.
Planning helps to identify issues in advance and ensures that the Tribe is fully prepared for the transfer of IHS PSFAs to the Tribal health program.
The ultimate goal of the planning stage is to ensure that the Tribe is aware of the responsibility involved in assuming IHS PSFAs.
