Where you go for outpatient care — like lab work, x-rays, or treatments — matters. Using preferred providers helps you get the most from your benefits and keeps your costs lower.
If you receive care at a hospital or facility within 75 miles of Alaska Regional Hospital or Mat-Su Regional Hospital, the Plan will only cover 60% of eligible charges, and a penalty reduction applies—meaning higher out-of-pocket costs for you.
Choosing a preferred provider can lead to better coverage and fewer surprises. Before scheduling care, take a moment to confirm you’re using a preferred facility.
