Summary • Coverage among AI/AN patients seen in I/T/U facilities is lower than overall U.S. Estimates • Difference in methodology may account for some difference • Variation between IHS Areas • Low coverage among 65+ age group a concern • Coverage among I/T/U HCP is better than U.S. Estimates • Coverage has remained level for last 3 years • New strategies needed to increase?
