What if a traveler does not have insurance?

If a traveler does not have insurance to cover a test, then the following reimbursement process is in place.

The State of Alaska will reimburse facilities at the CMS rate:

Up to $25 for sample collection

Up to $100 to test the sample if the sample was sent to a commercial lab or tested on site

Providers must verify travelers do not have other insurance.

For voucher reimbursement to the facility/organization email the voucher(s) to traveler@alaska.gov to start the process. Procedure and diagnosis codes are not required when providing service to travelers without health insurance.
