25 U.S.C. § 1642: Purchasing health care coverage

a tribally owned and operated health care plan; a State or locally authorized or licensed health care plan; a health insurance provider or managed care organization; a self-insured plan; or a high deductible or health savings account plan. The purchase of coverage under subsection (a) by an Indian tribe, tribal organization, or urban Indian organization may be based on the financial needs of such beneficiaries (as determined by the 1 or more Indian tribes being served based on a schedule of income levels developed or implemented by such 1 ore 2 more Indian tribes). 2 So in original. Probably should be “or”. In the case of a self-insured plan under subsection (a)(4), the amounts may be used for expenses of operating the plan, including administration and insurance to limit the financial risks to the entity offering the plan. Nothing in this section shall be construed as affecting the use of any amounts not referred to in subsection (a).
