How do I talk with my healthcare provider about sex and sexual health?
When talking with a health care provider, such as a doctor or community health aide, the most important thing is honesty. Be honest about health concerns. Also, share any symptoms you are having if they are directly related to your health care visit. Tell your provider about your symptoms, even if it seems embarrassing. When your provider has a full picture with accurate information regarding your health history and behaviors, they will have a better idea about what’s needed to keep you healthy!

Did you know that non-emergent medical treatments received outside of an Indian Health Service facility are not covered by the Indian Health Service? This means that you could be charged for these medical expenses, which can become very expensive.
Make sure your student can receive emergency health care when they are away for school! Enroll in the ANTHC Purchased/Referred Care (PRC) Student Medical Program before traveling out of state for school. PRC enrollment needs to be done each semester; students need to provide ANTHC PRC the following:
- A notarized official letter from the school verifying the student’s full-time attendance.
- Patient registration worksheet with current mailing address and telephone number while going to school outside Alaska.
- Beneficiaries are required to be screened for alternate health resources. Please call 907-729-5696 to be screened by Outreach and Enrollment.
- Once the student has graduated or discontinues full-time status, medical coverage is limited to emergency care for a period up to 180 days.
