On-Site Care: Enrolled Members of the Passamaquoddy Tribe at Pleasant Point are eligible for Direct (on-site) Medical Services. This includes members who reside within and outside of the Contract Health Service Delivery Area (CHSDA).
Purchased & Referred Care: Relates to specialized health-care services provided by outside agencies. Enrolled Members of the Passamaquoddy Tribe at Pleasant Point shall be given resident status and deemed eligible for Purchased and Referred Care once all requirements have been met. Health care coverage will continue for a period of six (6) months after the eligible member has left the Service Area. However, if a person leaves the Service Area prior to establishing residency, they will be considered a non-resident and therefore ineligible for Purchased and Referred Care. If moving from one reservation to another, no residency period is required.
