Alaska and the Alaska Federal Health Care Partnership

Abstract

The intent of the Alaska Federal Healthcare Partnership is to expand clinical and support capabilities of the Alaska Native Medical Center (ANMC), Third Medical Group(3MDG), Bassett Army Community Hospital (BACH), 354th Medical Group (354th MDG), United States Coast Guard (USCG) and Veteran s Administration (VA) through sharing of resources. The Alaska Federal Healthcare Partnership seeks to deliver cost effective health care to Indian Health Service (IHS), VA, USCG and Department of Defense(DoD) beneficiaries. The Partnership has demonstrated savings of over one million dollars annually. This is a significant accomplishment when the cost of health care in Alaska routinely exceeds 200 percent of CONUS costs and very few providers accept Medicare or TRICARE. This project examines the qualitative aspects of health care delivery by the AFHCP to eligible beneficiaries within Alaska.
