Health Fairs


For AlaskaCare Employee and Retiree plan members and their eligible dependents.

The AlaskaCare Health Plan, in partnership with the Pacific Health Coalition, is offering Health Fairs this fall in five Alaskan cities. Health Fairs give AlaskaCare plan participants easy access to flu shots as well as convenient blood screening, prostate disease screening, thyroid screening, Vitamin D testing, and other preventive care services at reduced rates.

Please Note: Health fair resources are limited and appointment availability for AlaskaCare members is constrained by the number of appointments provided by the Pacific Health Coalition, which organizes the events. Occasionally members will contact us when they are unable to obtain an appointment because the fair in their city has reached capacity. Unfortunately, additional members cannot be accommodated once the day’s schedule is full. This is to ensure that specimens can be handled timely, enough medical supplies are on hand for each day, and to avoid exceeding fire code maximum occupancy for the venue. Please ensure that you pre register early in order to have the best opportunity to secure your spot. If you are unable to secure a spot for the event, it’s important to remember that both the Retiree Defined Benefit Health Plan and the Employee Health Plan offer preventive care coverage for retirees, employees, and their dependents at no cost to the member. There are no copays, deductibles, or coinsurance for covered preventive services when you see a network provider. Most of the services provided at Pacific Health Coalition Health Fairs would fall into this category of service and can be requested from your own in network physician at a time that is convenient for you.
