Uninsured?

Our on-site Care and Outreach Coordinators will help you determine your eligibility for various programs offered by the State of Alaska and the Federal Government. If you do not qualify, we offer discounts sponsored by the Health Resources & Services Administration. Discounts for service are based on family size and income. Base rates are calculated using national poverty levels as adjusted for Alaska and extend up to 200%.

SVT Health Center does not refuse medical services to anyone based on ability to pay. To continue to qualify for discounts SVT Health Center requires income verification once per year. If your income status changes during the year you may update your file by bringing in updated information. This, again, should be your tax return. If you are unable to provide a tax return, please call our Front Office staff at 226.2228 and ask for acceptable alternative proof of income documents.
