Alaska Medicaid Coordinated Care Initiative (AMCCI)
One-on-one case management with a Medicaid specialist
Overview
The Alaska Medicaid Coordinated Care Initiative (AMCCI) is a voluntary program offered by the Division of Health Care Services (DHCS). It provides one-on-one case management services to help members obtain health care in the appropriate setting. The AMCCI helps members find their way through the health care system, and it helps them use the Alaska Medicaid program benefits that are right for them.
Our goal is to help members feel better and be healthier. The AMCCI does this by providing personal, one-on-one attention and case management services.
Who qualifies?
Alaskans who receive medical assistance--such as Medicaid, Denali KidCare, or chronic and acute medical assistance --may be eligible.
- Do you have trouble getting to your appointments or finding health care after normal business hours?
- Is it difficult to find care for your condition or to understand your diagnosis?
- Can you get your medications timely, or do you sometimes miss taking some of your medications?
