The Alaska Behavioral Health Association (ABHA), in partnership with Agnew::Beck, is happy to present providers with this resource for delivering Medicaid behavioral health services in Alaska. We know our providers are faced with unique challenges and we hope that this orientation toolkit can be your companion to delivering the best care for all Alaskans. ABHA is proud to represent the expertise of our membership and welcomes the collaboration of our providers in building the best system of care in Alaska. Through ongoing updates and feedback, we can work together to make Medicaid service delivery a transparent and feasible option for all providers. We greatly appreciate the contributions of our partners to assist behavioral health providers in creating successful services and programs for the people of Alaska.
