How do Alaska's lab & imaging rates compare with Medicare?
Across lab & imaging codes with a national Medicare comparator, Alaska Medicaid pays a median 100% of the Medicare amount (GPCI-neutral national comparison). Individual codes vary widely, so check the per-code percentage in the table.
Do lab & imaging services need prior authorization in Alaska?
Alaska does not publish prior-authorization indicators on this fee schedule, so PA requirements must be confirmed through the state's provider manual or portal. Absence of a flag here means "not published", never "no PA required".
Where do these rates come from?
Directly from Alaska's published Medicaid fee-for-service schedule (effective 2026), collected and normalized by ProviderSignal across all 50 states + DC. Rates are re-collected on a rolling schedule and this page updates automatically. Procedure descriptions are ProviderSignal's own plain-language labels or public-domain CMS text.
