Minor Care - Wellness Program
The Minor Care - Wellness Program benefits are available to you when you are eligible for coverage under the Alaska Laborers-Construction Industry Health and Security Fund. The Trust can offer you this program and obtain discounted rates for these services by virtue of its association with the Health Care Cost Management Corporation of Alaska (the Coalition). You are not required to use the Minor Care - Wellness Program, but by using this program, you may pay less out-of-pocket expenses, reduce your waiting time and eliminate claim forms.
