After Hours Travel Changes

At BBAHC, the safety of our staff and patients is our top priority.  We know that travel changes may be unavoidable and not every circumstance impacting travel can be anticipated.  BBAHC has established a process for travel changes outside of normal business hours for Medicaid travel and non-Medicaid travel:

Medicaid Travel
Medicaid travel changes prior to a scheduled departure date or while patients are in transit to the final destination to receive care, can be directed to Medicaid Travel, Monday to Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm at (907) 842-9336.  If urgent (and outside of business hours), please contact the Kanakanak Hospital Emergency Department at (907) 842-9371.

Non-Medicaid Travel
For non-Medicaid travel changes that are outside of business hours, please contact the Kanakanak Hospital Emergency Department at (907) 842-9371.

Bristol Bay Area Health Corporation manages Kanakanak Hospital, a critical access facility, which is Joint Commission accredited, receives Health and Human Services funding, and is covered through the Federal Tort Claim Act with respect to certain health or health-related claims, including liability for medical malpractice claims, for its officers, board members, employees, and certain health profession contractors and health profession volunteers. Bristol Bay Area Health Corporation is recognized by the US Government and State of Alaska as a tribal organization under PL 93-638.
