Serving Families Near Anchorage and Across Alaska
Our urgent care is located in Anchorage off of 36th Ave with easy access from Midtown, Spenard, South Anchorage, and the U-Med District. That means traveling to bring your child to see us won't take half of your day.
We also serve families from Eagle River, Chugiak, Peters Creek, Birchwood, Girdwood, Wasilla, Palmer, Butte, Sutton, and Big Lake. For remote, rural, and island communities across Alaska that don't have access to a local pediatric clinic, our telemedicine service puts a board-certified pediatrician on screen in minutes. Our online team can also provide you with a plan for at-home care or help you decide whether the trip into Anchorage is actually necessary. It's the same treatment you'd get in our exam room, delivered wherever you happen to be, without the drive.
Same Day Pediatric Care for Anchorage Families
Same-day pediatric care means your child is seen today, instead of on next week's schedule. Our providers specialize exclusively in kids, from newborns through young adults. This means that everyday illnesses and minor injuries that pop up without warning get handled by someone specifically trained for ur child's age group.
Cost and coverage are usually the second concern on a parent's mind after booking care. They might be wondering, ‘Is this an urgent care that takes Medicaid?’ Here's exactly what to expect, whether you're insured or paying out of pocket.
Visiting With Insurance
Alaska Children’s accepts Medicaid, along with most major private insurance plans, including Denali KidCare, TRICARE Prime and Select, BCBS Premera, BCBS Federal, Aetna, EBMS, UHC, UMR, Moda, and Cigna. If your specific plan isn't on this list, call us at 907-222-5090, and our pediatric team can confirm your coverage before your visit.
Visiting Without Insurance
Families without coverage aren't turned away. We provide our urgent care without insurance services by using a tiered discounted self-pay rate system, payable in full at the time of service.
Not sure which tier fits your child's symptoms? Call ahead, and our specialists at Alaska Children’s Urgent Care and Outreach can help you estimate the cost before you come in, so there are no surprises at checkout.
