Guidance for Skokomish Tribal Members Seeking Medical Care at Mason General

When you or a loved one who is an enrolled Skokomish Tribal member or eligible for Purchase Referred Care (PRC) are admitted to Mason General Hospital, we at the Skokomish Clinic ask that you present with your tribal identification card and state that your primary care provider is located at the clinic; doing so allows for Mason General’s case management staff to communicate to us that you are receiving care there. This means that in situations where, for example, a tribal member is admitted to the emergency room (ER), we will be made directly aware by the hospital’s staff that you have been taken to the ER and will therefore be more capable of maintaining accountability in your medical care for the duration of your time there. If a loved one is admitted and unable to do so themselves, we ask that you notify Mason General staff of their tribal enrollment so that line of communication may be established. This simple step goes a long way to ensure Skokomish community members receive quality care from external providers. Thank you for doing your part!
