Medicaid is a government program that gives free or low-cost health coverage to people with limited income, such as some adults, children, pregnant women, seniors and people with disabilities. Each state runs its own Medicaid program and decides who qualifies. We are an independent insurance agency, and we cannot enroll you in Medicaid or check your Medicaid.

Common questions
How is ACA Marketplace coverage administered in Alaska?
Alaska uses HealthCare.gov (federal Marketplace) rather than a state-run exchange. Enrollment, plan comparison, and subsidy determinations run through the federal system.
Has Alaska expanded Medicaid under the ACA?
Yes. Alaska adopted Medicaid expansion, effective September 2015, extending eligibility to more low-income adults than the traditional Medicaid program covered.
Is there a cost to speak with a licensed agent?
No. Reviewing ACA Marketplace options by phone with a licensed agent has no cost. Any plan ultimately selected carries its own separate premium, determined by the plan and carrier, not by GetFastRates.com.
Questions are easier by phone.
