Case Management Services
Helping families navigate Medicaid services
Overview
Alaska Medicaid, through their contractor, Comagine Health, provides case management services designed for patients with serious illnesses, injuries, and some chronic conditions. Their nurse case managers help people on Medicaid and their families get health care and other related community services.
