Medisaw (Purchased Referred Care program) is a referral-based program for the Chickasaw Nation Department of Health. Medisaw serves patients referred to specialty health care services not directly available at the Chickasaw Nation Department of Health.
Once a health care provider has determined a patient is in need of a specialty health care service currently not available as a direct service in the Chickasaw Nation Department of Health, the provider will place a Medisaw referral electronically.
If the patient lives inside the Ada Service unit, the referral is carefully reviewed and considered by the Medisaw Committee.
If the patient lives outside the Ada service unit, the referral is sent to the Purchase Referred Care office in their service unit for review and determination. Medisaw specialists are available to help guide patients to the appropriate service unit.
All bills received for an approved service must be submitted to the Medisaw office.
The patient is responsible for providing the referral and purchase order to the specialty care facility and all bills received for this approved service will need to be turned in to the Medisaw office.
Medisaw is dedicated to connecting patients with the specialty care they need. Unfortunately, there are some services unavailable through Medisaw. We are continuously working to add other approved services.
