Find a Doctor
You may use any physician you choose; however, you can save money and avoid significant penalties by seeing a preferred provider. The Plan has different preferred provider arrangements based on location.
Our Preferred Provider Network
The Plan uses Aetna’s Choice POS II, a preferred provider network. Aetna is a large, nation-wide healthcare network that offers a wide choice of doctors and facilities and provides you and your dependents access to discounted pricing from providers that are part of their network.
ATTENTION – For services within the Anchorage/Mat-Su area, plan requirements to use the follow providers have not changed:
- Alaska Regional Hospital
- Mat-Su Regional Hospital
- Chugach Physical Therapy
- Ascension Physical Therapy
- Alaska Hand Rehabilitation
As a reminder, if you do not use these providers for Covered Services as described in the Plan Booklet, your rate of reimbursement will be reduced.
Within the Anchorage metropolitan area, for hospitals, surgical centers and outpatient therapy providers the Plan’s Preferred Providers are:
- Alaska Regional Hospital
- Mat-Su Regional Hospital
- Surgery Center of Anchorage
- Alaska Surgery Center
- Alpine Surgery Center
- Chugach Physical Therapy
- Ascension Physical Therapy
- Alaska Hand Rehabilitation
Avoid Penalties and Reduction in Coverage
There are significant penalties if you choose to go to a non-Preferred Provider within the Municipality of Anchorage for either inpatient or outpatient physical or occupational therapy or imagery services.
