3 Joint Review Steering Committee The AFN-FNIHB Joint Review of the Non-Insured Health Benefits Program is guided by a committee comprised of leadership and technicians from both the AFN and Health Canada.

5 Joint Review Steering Committee From Health Canada, the JRSC is comprised of: FNIHB Assistant Deputy Ministers (2) FNIHB Regional Executives (3) NIHB Headquarters Executives (3) NIHB Regional Directors (2) 5
6 AFN Comprehensive Review The AFN conducted an internal review, seeking to build on previous NIHB exercises both regionally and nationally in the last 10 years. The AFN reviewed the following: Chiefs-in-Assembly Resolutions Minutes from AFN committees (e.g. NFNHTN and NNN) NIHB Action Plan Previous legal opinions Reports (etc.) 6
7 Community Site Visits Kahui Tautoko Consulting Ltd (KTCL) was hired to conduct community site visits for all benefit areas. 5 First Nations communities participated in a site visit to discuss the Mental Health benefit. For remaining benefit areas (dental, vision, pharmacy, medical supplies &equipment and medical transportation), each participating region coordinated 5 community site visits, based on internal regional processes. These site visits focused on the remaining 4 benefit areas (dental, vision, pharmacy and medical supplies and equipment). KTCL has completed all of the regional site visits and draft reports were submitted September 19 and are in the process of being finalized. 7
8 Client Surveys AFN created online surveys for client and community members for ALL First Nations NIHB clients, regardless of location. These surveys were used to inform the AFN submission to the Joint Review Steering Committee, in combination with the Regional site visits conducted by the KTCL. Completed client surveys: Mental Health (210) Dental (826) Vision (366) MS&E (199) Pharmacy (424) Medical Transportation (501) 8
9 Recommendations Process to develop Recommendations: 1.) AFN reviews previous NIHB exercises, forums, meetings, Action Plan, Chiefs Resolutions over the last 10 years, (etc) 2.) Incorporate the on-line Client Surveys for each benefit area 3.) Regional Engagement Activities (determined by each region) 4.) Community Site Visit reports are reviewed 5.) AFN staff develops draft recommendations based on the above noted review processes 6.) Share the draft recommendations with willing Service Providers for their professional review, feedback and validation 7.) Tables recommendations with the JRSC for review, discussion and negotiation/deliberation 8.) Upon JRSC agreement, a joint implementation plan is developed complete with activities and timelines, responsibilities 9
10 Service Provider Update SERVICE PROVIDER SURVEYS Service Provider Surveys were invited to participate in an online survey for all benefit areas. The Service Provider surveys are all complete and the AFN was accepting written submissions from Service Providers up until October 31, Completed Service Provider Surveys: Pharmacy (273) Dental (245) MS & E (8) MT Drivers (14) MT Coordinators (10) Vision (224) 10
11 Service Provider Update SERVICE PROVIDER FORUM The purpose of the Service Provider Forum was to solicit feedback from a wide range of NIHB specific service providers. The forum also provided an opportunity for service providers to suggest practical changes to policies and systems that will support an improved process for both clients and service providers dealing with NIHB. The AFN shared the current draft benefit recommendations with Service Providers to seek their professional feedback, to ensure recommendations were in-line with industry standards. 11
12 Regional Engagement Process Each region will hold their own regional engagement session, determined by the processes of each individual region. The purpose of these engagement processes is to offer as many opportunities as possible for communities to provide input into the Joint Review, even if they were not selected for a site visit. We anticipate regional engagement sessions to be completed by November 1, 2016 and reports submitted by November 30,

NIHB will now review requests for replacement every 5 years (instead of every 8 years). NIHB has revised mental health provider enrollment forms to include information on provider specialties, including trauma informed care, and cultural competency. 21
22 June 2016 Progress List To facilitate client access to oxygen supplies and equipment, NIHB now recognizes licensed practical nurses (LPN) and registered practical nurses (RPN) as home oxygen assessors in provinces and territories where this activity is within their scope of practice. NIHB has revised the approval process for escorts for prenatal clients to ensure consistent adjudication and regard for the advice of medical professionals. NIHB has reduced administration for Vision providers by lifting the requirement for annual re-enrollment. NIHB has made it easier for clients to notify the Program if other health coverage has ended and no longer requires written notification. 22
