State Insights
Alaska at a Glance
Behavioral-health NP roles across Alaska span outpatient clinics, telehealth platforms, and integrated care settings, typically paying $120K–$170K, with demand elevated by nationwide prescriber shortages. Alaska grants full practice authority — independent prescribing without physician oversight, and the state's cost of living near the national average (index 100) directly shapes NP compensation expectations. Top metros in Alaska are not currently federally designated health professional shortage areas, but regional demand for NPs and reimbursement structure shape compensation. The 3 active postings reflect a smaller pool of openings for NPs in the state.
PMHNPs in Alaska can practice independently, including prescribing controlled substances, without physician oversight.
