 ;;The Indian Health Service (IHS) is working to improve the

 ;;quality of its hardcopy and automated medical records. An

 ;;important element of the medical record is the Social Security

 ;;Number (SSN). SSNs Help IHS to more quickly and accurately find

 ;;specific medical records and to unduplicate medical records. 

 ;;The result is better patient care since an SSN allows IHS and

 ;;tribal contract employees to keep a better record of a) a

 ;;patient's health history, b) what medicines a patient has taken

 ;;and should take, c) what health treatment a patient was given

 ;;and should get, d) patient allergies (if any) and e) follow-up

 ;;care if needed. A SSN also allows tribal contractors to more

 ;;effectively bill third parties ( e.g., insurance companies,

 ;;Medicare, and Medicaid) for care provided to patients with such

 ;;coverage.

 ;; 

 ;;In order to ensure that it has complete and accurate SSNs on

 ;;file, IHS uses information that is available from other

 ;;government organizations. The Social Security Administration

 ;;and Medicaid are IHS' principal sources of SSN information. The

 ;;SSN listed below was provided to IHS. We believe it is your SSN

 ;;since the name, date of birth, and sex associated with the SSN

 ;;match the information you provided to us.

 ;; 

 ;;Please review the SSN that is listed below and let us know if

 ;;it is incorrect. Thank you for helping IHS do a better job for

 ;;you.
