August is National Immunization Awareness Month. Immunizations are not only important for our children's health, but for our health as well.

Immunizations are covered at 100% with no deductible when services are billed by a contracted provider.

Please review the schedule of immunizations covered by your plan.

It's almost back-to-school time and you are likely prepared with your child's enrollment forms, orientation schedules, and immunizations, but what about their eyes? August is Children's Eye Health and Safety Month—a great reminder for you to get your child's eyes checked before school starts.

Visual screening are covered under your AlaskaCare Employee plan for children every year from age 3 through 6, and at age 8, 10, 12, 15, and 18. If you have enrolled in the Managed Care Vision plan, you may have additional benefits. Please see your health plan booklet for coverage details.
