Revenue model

1. Indian Health Service Title V Contract: SDUIH operates under a Title V Urban Indian Health Program contract with Indian Health Service (IHS), which provides base funding for operations. A five-year $11 million operations contract from IHS funds the clinics in Pierre and Sioux Falls. This funding is specifically earmarked for Urban Indian Organizations and is separate from federal funding that IHS receives to fund tribal hospitals and clinics.
2. Patient Services Revenue: Revenue generated from billing insurance plans for patient services. SDUIH accepts most insurance and offers a sliding scale fee for underinsured and uninsured patients. This includes Medicaid, Medicare, and Marketplace plans.
3. Special Diabetes Program for Indians (SDPI) Grant: Grant funding through the Special Diabetes Program for Indians supports diabetes prevention and treatment programs, including walking groups and other wellness activities.
4. City of Sioux Falls Contract - Wo'okiye Program: Funding from the City of Sioux Falls to support the Wo'okiye street outreach program, which addresses homelessness as recommended by the City's Homelessness Task Force. The program provides culturally sensitive wraparound services to unhoused relatives.
