Which Medicaid managed care plans do home care agencies contract with in Alaska?
Last verified October 17, 2026 · All Alaska resources
Alaska pays for Medicaid home care fee-for-service. Alaska does not use managed care organizations for Medicaid long-term services. Home care agencies enroll directly with Alaska Medicaid and are certified through the Division of Senior and Disabilities Services, which manages the HCBS waivers and personal care services.
For the programs that pay for home care, see Alaska Medicaid waivers.
