Honest Answers, Clear Care
We know navigating healthcare can bring up a lot of questions. Whether you're wondering about eligibility, what services are available, or how to schedule an appointment, we’re here to make things easy. Below you’ll find answers to the questions we hear most often, so you can feel confident and informed when choosing Ponca Health
Ponca Health serves all enrolled tribal members and descendants from any federally recognized tribe within the United States. You do not need to be Ponca specifically. However, services are not available to non-tribal individuals or international tribal citizens (e.g., Canada).
No. You do not need private insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare to access care at Ponca Health. Our services are available at no cost to eligible tribal members and descendants thanks to funding from Indian Health Service (IHS) contracts and other programs.
We provide pediatric care (ages 0–21), OB and prenatal services, adult primary care, chronic illness management, lab work, and pharmacy support. Services may vary slightly by clinic, so check your nearest location.
We currently have clinics in Omaha, Lincoln, and Norfolk, Nebraska. Each site offers a range of services—some specialty services (like OB care) are only available in certain locations.
Not at this time. While we do have a patient portal, it is only accessible for existing patients and does not allow appointment scheduling. Please call your nearest clinic directly to book your visit.
Your Health Matters to Us
Whether you're ready to book an appointment, have a question about services, or just want to learn more, our team is here for you. At Ponca Health, we believe in removing barriers and building trust, starting with a simple conversation. Give us a call, visit your nearest clinic, or send us a message. We’ll walk with you every step of the way.
