Advocates
Advocates are your personal Alaska Plan “helpers.”
They can help you get answers about your medical, dental, vision, and prescription benefits. They can also help with eligibility requirements and can explain what it takes to keep your coverage active.
Advocates can help you:
- Find a doctor
- Fill out forms
- Get answers to your questions
- See if you’re eligible for benefits
- Check to see if you owe a self-pay
- Know your copays
- Sign up for a class or program
- Explain things that are sent to you by mail or text
- Help with complicated situations (disability, enrollment, complaints, etc.)
Learn about other great Alaska Plan programs by calling the Advocacy group at 844-427-8516, or email akadvocacy@uniteherehealth.org.
