To manage health care coverage for Alaskans in need.

End Result A: Health care service reductions are mitigated by replacing general funds with alternate funds.

Due to an increase in both Indian Health Services (IHS) billings and adjustments to facility encounter rates the goal of increasing IHS billings was realized, with an increase of approximately 9% from FY08 to FY09.

End Result B: Affordable access to quality health care services is provided to eligible Alaskans.

While there has been mixed success in expanding the number of eligible providers, the greatest gains have been made in ancillary providers and physician extenders. Overall, enrolled providers increased from 8,917 in FY08 to 10,255 in FY09; an increase of approximately 15%.
