businesses who have an interest in bolstering your technology; Cyber Security

and National Security interested people and businesses that want to learn more

about how they can work within the $1+ trillion-dollar agriculture industry. We

have FREE cybersecurity in agriculture online training coming soon! More to

come as we begin to create the modules/training. All training will be available

virtually, so you may take it in the privacy of your home. In-person training will

also be available as we work to set up locations if that is your preference.

• Do you have an on-line presence related to agriculture or cybersecurity products affecting accounting, feed, inventory,

food, planting, land usage or other aspects of the agriculture industry?

• Do you feel the need to be more informed about Cybersecurity?

• How could Ransomware affect you and your business? How could it affect crops, produce, cattle, Buffalo, finances,

• Are you Ponca, another tribe, or any agricultural producer located in Nebraska currently using some amount of tech for

your agriculture? You may be eligible for an additional specific learning opportunity!

Please reach out to lloucks@pedco-ne.org for more information!

Do you have a medical billing concern?

In the event that Ponca Health Services cannot provide the needed specialty care, the PRC program may

be available to pay for care administered by private or external healthcare providers. The PRC Program is

considered the payer of last resort and Federal Regulations require patients to exhaust all health care resources

available to them from private insurance, state health programs (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid) before the PRC

program can provide payment. There are several requirements before a patient can be authorized for the

program. Please call 402-371-8834 for more information about the PRC program.

Questions to ask yourself when you are referred

to an outside doctor:

1. Did your Ponca Health Service provider submit a PRC referral?

2. Did you consult with the PRC Department about your referral?

3. Did you inform the outside doctor’s office that you are PRC eligible?

4. Did you provide your insurance card to the doctor’s office

during your visit?

Steps to take when you receive a medical bill in the mail:

1. Call the phone number that is located on your patient bill:

• Inform the office that you received a bill in the mail.

• Provide account number and any other information they request.

• Inquire if they have your insurance information, if not provide it.

• Inform them that you are Ponca Health Service PRC eligible.

Facts to know about PRC Funds:

1. PRC receives yearly funding. It is used

from October 1st to September 30th.

2. All PRC patient referrals must be approved,

otherwise PRC funding will not be applied

to your patient bill.

3. PRC patients must apply for any alternate

resources for which you may be eligible

(Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance etc.)

4. PRC funding is a Payer of last resort. It

pays only for costs not paid for by your

alternate resources.

2. Submit your bill to the Ponca Health Service PRC Department:

• PRC does not always know that you have an unpaid medical bill.

• Please contact a PRC Staff member to discuss your bill.

• Please submit your most current updated insurance card,

so our system can be updated accordingly.

HELP US UPDATE OUR MEMBER INFORMATION!

Hello Members,

The Enrollment Department is doing their best to keep our members information current and up to date but we can’t do it without your help. If you’ve moved or need to report a death please contact us to let us know.

Below is a list of members that are inactive. This means that we do not have a current address for them on file or maybe a

death was never reported or documents were never received. If you see the name of someone you know who has moved

please contact them and tell them to update their information with us. If there is the name of someone you know who has

passed please contact us. We need a death certificate or document on file in order to change their status.

You may contact the Enrollment Department at enrollment@poncatribe-ne.org, or contact the Niobrara

or Lincoln offices.

We appreciate your help!
