Welcome to the Alaska Native Medical Center Contract Health Services webpage
This website is designed to help you understand your role and responsibilities in following ANMC CHS policies and procedures.
Other CHS and regional programs providing health coverage
You may be eligible for CHS funding from the tribal entity providing health care in your region or to your tribe's members if you are a resident of an area other than that covered by the ANMC CHS program. You will need to contact them and follow their policies and procedures. (Select "CHS Statewide Program List" from the menu at right to view listings of other CHS programs).
Criteria and documentation
A referral made by an ANMC physician does not guarantee payment. ANMC CHS does not deny medical services, however, referred services must fall within approved CHS medical priorities to be considered for payment. If a service is not covered by CHS, the patient will be financially responsible for services received.
*When a patient is referred by an ANMC physician and CHS has authorized payment, it is the patient or patient's family ultimate responsibility to ensure that CHS receives all claims and/or applicable insurance information in a timely manner. CHS will not be responsible for delinquent patient accounts due to untimely submission of claims and/or insurance information.

Under specific conditions, Alaska Native Medical Center (ANMC) Contract Health Services (CHS) provides funding for referred medical services not directly available at ANMC. However, only limited CHS funding is available. To ensure wise stewardship of those funds, ANMC has specific policies and procedures concerning their use. If an individual does not follow the policies and procedures, ANMC CHS may be unable to assist with the cost of medical services a person receives at non-ANMC facilities.
