All AlaskaCare Employee plan members and their spouses and dependent children must present an AlaskaCare Health Plan insurance card with their name on it to the AlaskaCare registration table to access services at the health fair.

The AlaskaCare Health Plan insurance card has “AlaskaCare” printed above the logo at top right with “Employee” beneath the logo. This is the only way registration staff at the health fair will have to verify a member’s eligibility. It’s helpful if members have their cards out and ready as they approach the registration table.

Lab Tests Available At The Health Fair

Pre-registration for lab tests and flu shots opens on August 4 at coalitionhealthfair.org .

  • Testing is available to adults over age 18. Test results will be sent to you directly.
  • Pre-registration closes on the Thursday three weeks before the fair unless a date reaches maximum capacity prior to the scheduled close. You must register.
  • We will offer fasting and non-fasting labs at some locations. Non-fasting locations will be noted when you pre-register.
    • If you prefer a non-fasting lab, please schedule your appointment later in the morning to accommodate fasting participants.

Visit the coalitionhealthfair.org website for more information on the following screening tests, paid 100% by your health plan at no cost to you:

  • Chemistry / Hematology Profile / A1C
  • Thyroid Screen
  • Prostate Disease Screen (for those age 40 and older)
  • Vitamin D Test

Flu Shots

The Trivalent flu vaccine is offered to eligible participants age 9 and over (pending vaccine availability) and provided by the Coalition. High dose is not offered.

  1. The pre-registration website opens August 4. Pre-registration can be completed online only. Health fair services are limited to members who successfully use the online tool to complete pre-registration and receive an appointment.
  2. Pre-registration closes on Thursday, three weeks before the fair, unless a date reaches maximum capacity prior to the scheduled close. Each eligible member, age 18 and over, who would like an appointment for a Comprehensive Lab Test must pre-register and schedule an appointment by Thursday, three weeks before the Health Fair you wish to attend.
  3. Pre-registration closes the Thursday three weeks before the fair unless a date reaches maximum capacity prior to the scheduled close. There is a maximum capacity for each day based on:
    • the number of blood draws that can be accomplished per hour; and
    • the number of people that the space can hold. Once capacity is reached for any day, registration closes for that day.
  4. Pre-registration is essential because it reduces participant waiting time by:
    • allowing organizers to prepare members’ flu shot forms, lab forms, and barcode labels for their lab specimens before the morning of the fair;
    • helping organizers ensure the correct amount of supplies are carried in for each day; and
    • enabling organizers to provide each member with an appointment.
  5. When members arrive at the health fair, they should proceed to the AlaskaCare registration table designated to service them alphabetically by the first letter of their last name. (If you have family members with different last names, please have them go to the appropriate line that corresponds to the first letter of their last name.) The registration table staff will verify each member’s eligibility from their AlaskaCare Employee Health Plan insurance card (which must have the name of the person registering). Once verified as plan members, participants will be given their lab and flu forms and specimen barcodes to proceed to the lab and flu shot lines.
