OPTUM ALASKA

One person, one family, one community at a time. Every individual and every family has a unique road to wellness, health, and hope. Every community has its own ways to support and assist the people who live there.

Optum manages outpatient behavioral health benefits for Alaska Medicaid participants. It is our commitment to help transform Alaska’s behavioral health outpatient system by focusing on helping people reach recovery in their own health journey.

By working collaboratively with the State of Alaska to implement the goals set forth by the State and to deliver quality, efficient and effective changes, we will achieve better outcomes for Alaskans and transform the behavioral health system.
