Medical Business Office / Purchased & Referred Care

The Medical Business Office oversees medical billing and the Purchased and Referred Care Program.

In the Medical Business Office, staff work behind the scenes to maximize the amount of reimbursement from health insurance companies for the services provided through the Nooksack Health Department. The office coordinates closely with each of the individual Health Department programs, billing for all applicable services provided and sending claims to all qualifying health insurances. The office processes each claim individually, including submitting, tracking, receiving, and applying the payments sent by the insurance companies. Staff provide weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly reports on Medical Business Office activities to the Health Department program managers, Health Department Director, and to the Tribe’s Finance Department.
