Laura Erickson was born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and grew up mostly in the Midwest. She graduated from Minot State University in Minot, ND with her BSN in 2009. Aside from a quick year of adult nursing experience, she has worked in pediatrics and pediatric oncology from the start. Laura was given the opportunity to expand her skill set at PAMC where she joined the pediatric oncology team in the hospital. She is excited to keep learning more and caring for the pediatric oncology population here at Alaska Pediatric Specialties!

Laura loves to spend her time outdoors hiking and adventuring to new places in Alaska with her dog, Nuska. She loves everything about living in the mountains and can’t imagine living in the prairies of the Midwest again!

Drop a 👋🏼 to say hi to Laura!!

Insurance 101: What is a deductible? 🤔



A deductible is the amount you pay out of pocket for covered medical services before your insurance starts paying its share. 💵



Important fact: deductibles generally reset at the start of every calendar year or plan year. 🗓️ That’s why a visit in January might cost more out of pocket than the same visit in November.



Not sure where your family stands with your deductible? Call our office at (907) 929-7337 📞 and we’ll help you figure it out. 💙

Insurance 101: Does your child have two plans? 🤔

When a child is covered by two insurance plans 👨‍👩‍👧, often one from each parent’s employer, we bill the primary plan first and then the secondary. This is called coordination of benefits, and it can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs. 💵

The key is letting us know about both plans before your appointment 📅 so we can bill them in the right order. It really does make a difference. ✨



Questions about how your child’s coverage works? Call our office at (907) 929-7337 📞 and we’ll help you figure it out. 💙

�
After graduating with a concentration in acute and chronic care, Michelle worked at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia in various pediatric specialties, including gastroenterology, neurosurgery, and hospital medicine.

When not at work, she enjoys exploring Alaska with her partner and dog. Indoors, she spends her time knitting and engaging in various fiber and fabric hobbies.

Please give a 👋🏼 to Michelle!!
