What is Purchased Referred Care (PRC)? The Winslow Indian Health Care Center Purchased Referred Care team tries to help patients get access to health care that aren't offered at WIHCC. Medical care provide here at this facility is called Direct Care. PRC receives a limited amount of funding from Indian Health Service (IHS) to pay for special health care needs that are not available at WIHCC or in the IHS. WIHCC PRC manages the PRC funds carefully in order to make sure funds are available to as many people as possible, for as long as possible, If PRC cannot pay for needed health care, we try to help the patient find an alternate payer, or find the needed services within the Indian Health Services (IHS).
