Premera Blue Cross Blue Shield (off site) has a broad network of providers called the Alaska Heritage Network. No matter which plan you choose, using network providers will lower your out-of-pocket costs because the percent you pay is based on negotiated fees.

The chart below details medical coverage and deductibles under the 500 Plan, the 750 Plan, and the High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP).

Claims information and other health resources are available on the Blue Cross site (off site). Members create their own user ID number and password when they register.
