It is the policy of the Fort Sill Apache Tribe CHR Program to provide transportation to and from health care
facilities to members of Indians tribes who reside within the Fort Sill Apache Tribe CHR Program service area.
If transportation is to be provided, it shall be within the local community to/from an IHS or tribal hospital
or an IHS referral to outside clinic/hospital for routine, non-emergency problems, for a patient without
other means of transportation when necessary. The clients requesting transportation are encouraged to seek
family support first before calling the CHR Program. If in the opinion of the CHR Director, an individual may
have access to their own way for transportation, then requests for Fort Sill Apache Tribe CHR transportation
services can be denied. The client must give information pertaining to the need for transport in order for a decision
to be reached as to whether or not the client will be transported (including but not limited to):
a) Accurate date and time of appointment/s.
b) Place of appointment/s including correct physical address of facility.
c) Name of Doctor to be seen & phone number to medical facility.
d) Reason of appointment/s and the estimated length of time for scheduled appointment.
e) Procedures that must occur before or after the appointment including but limited too Labs, X-Rays, CT scan,

Fort Sill Apache Transportation Policy
Due to the number of people to be served, who reside within the program “service area” (see attachment), funding,
mileage and vehicles: CHR transportation is limited. The need is to economize on fuel expense and man power: therefore,
it has become necessary to establish the following formal Policies and Procedures regarding the need for transportation
from the Fort Sill Apache Community Health Representative Program.
THE CHR COORDINATOR HAS THE AUTHORITY TO DETERMINE IF TRANSPORTATION SHOULD OR
SHOULD NOT BE PROVIDED. Priority is given to clients who have neither transportation nor access to transportation
by family members or close friends. The CHR transportation should be your last resort.

CHR (The CHR program has the right to refuse service to anyone.)
The CHR Program WILL NOT:
Transport minors and/or person(s) that have been assigned a legal guardian without the accompaniment of the
parent(s) and/or said legal guardian. PROOF OF LEGAL GUARDIANSHIP MAY BE REQUIRED. Furthermore
the Fort Sill Apache CHR is NOT a babysitter. Minors are the responsibility of the parent(s) and/or said legal
guardian.
Transport any child that is not able to properly wear the seat belt without the aid of a Child Restraint System (car
seat) according to Child Passenger Safety recommendations and/or any child weighing 100 lbs. or less without a
PROPERLY installed Child Restraint System (car seat) in accordance with the state law. THE CHR PROGRAM
DOES NOT PROVIDE CAR SEATS.
Transport any person(s) who appear to be under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. If the client seems to be
under the influence of alcohol/drugs during a transport, the CHR will notify the client that they will be
disqualified from the program indefinitely.
Transport any client who is thought to have a contagious condition that would put the CHR at risk. Clients who
we classify as “High Risk” include but limit to
A. Seriously ill with respiratory problems
B. Known to have seizures
C. Staph Infection
Transport a client that has the flu, or who has excessive vomiting and/or diarrhea.
Transport clients on shopping trips or errands that exceed more than 15 minutes. Reminder the CHR
transportation is not a taxi service.
Transport members of the client’s family without the approval from the CHR Coordinator.
Transport members of their own family without the approval from the CHR Coordinator.
Transport nursing home clients; as nursing homes are responsible for the health and welfare of their residents.
Transport clients who receive services from the VA, Social Services, or other mileage programs without the
approval from the CHR Coordinator.
Transport prenatal clients who are 8+months pregnant or who think they may be in labor. (Expecting mothers @
32 weeks must have family or close friends for the final weeks of pregnancy, including high risk pregnancy
mothers.)
Transport clients that have conditions that are life threatening or may require treatment. In this case an ambulance
must be utilized at the discretion and expense of the client. The CHR program is not an emergency form of
medical transportation (including but not limited to)
A. Heart attack
B. Gunshot wound
C. Insulin or Diabetic shock
D. Auto accidents
E. Severe head injuries.

Transport any clients that have an open wound that seems to be uncared for and/or leaking bodily fluids.
Transport clients from any medical facility unless the Fort Sill Apache CHR program transported them there to
begin with. If a client was transported to a medical facility by ambulance, family member, or other form of
transportation, we will not be responsible for that clients return.
Transport a non-Fort Sill Apache tribal member from another “service area”, unless it has been approved from
that clients CHR “service area” Coordinator (Wichita, Apache, Caddo etc.) Only then depending on availability.
Transport when road conditions are hazardous or predicted to be hazardous, especially during inclement weather.
Transport on surgery day. If Anesthetic is being used during the surgery then the CHR program will not be
transporting. The CHR will transport on all appointments leading up the surgery (if available) but not on surgery
day.
Procedures, CHR and Clients Responsibilities.
The CHR program has some responsibilities to help you in any way that they can and make the services as easy,
understandable and comforting as possible.
The CHR will transport, pick up and/or drop off RX and/or medical supplies
The CHR can transport another Fort Sill Apache employee when approved by the Coordinator and
Administration.
The CHR will assist on scheduling Dr. appointments if the client is having a hard time doing so. (ex:
vision/hearing is impaired)
The CHR will be with the client the whole time (with prior approval) during the transport if need be for
support and communication/understanding needs. (ex: vision/hearing is impaired)
If the client gets admitted into the hospital the CHR will be with the client until the family is contacted about
the admission and to inform them of the situation if client is unable to.
The client must give over the phone and/or in application form (including but not limited to) full name, DOB,
address (directions to home if needed) phone number, CDIB, IHS chart numbers, proof of residence, list of
current RX being taken and emergency contact information. All clients are required to fill out the CHR
transportation application before services are provided.
The client will only utilize one CHR program. In the event it is discovered that the client is scheduling a
transport with more than one CHR program for unnecessary reasons, that client will be terminated from the
program for abuse of the CHR programs.
It is the client’s responsibilities to reschedule any missed appointments, with the medical facility and with the
CHR program if transportation is needed.
The CHR program will be notified of the needs for transportation at least three (3) days prior to appointment date. If
