Billing Manuals

The billing manuals for the Alaska Medical Assistance Program contain documentation pertinent to participation in the program and to use in the preparation of claim forms. Before submitting any type of claim, a provider must be enrolled as an Alaska Medical Assistance Provider. Provider Enrollment Applications can be downloaded from this web site or by calling Provider Services at (907) 644-6800 in Anchorage or outside the state of Alaska and at (800) 770-5650 from other locations in Alaska.

Providers and medical billers should check the Provider Updates page regularly for revisions, clarifications and new information pertaining to their practice. We strongly recommend that you print the relevant updates and keep them with your billing manual.
