A New Kind of Primary Care for Seniors in Fairbanks: In-Person Support, Virtual Expertise, and All Covered by Medicare

If you’re a senior living in Fairbanks, finding a doctor who accepts Medicare can feel nearly impossible. The shortage of primary care providers in our community has left many residents waiting weeks—or even months—for an appointment. But that’s changing.

Troy Medical is bringing a new kind of care to Fairbanks, one that combines the comfort of an in-person visit with the reach and flexibility of telehealth. Starting this month, seniors can access high-quality, Medicare-covered primary care right here in town—without the long wait times or confusing runaround.

How It Works

When you come in for your appointment at Troy Medical’s Fairbanks clinic, you’re greeted by a friendly medical assistant who gets to know you by name. You’ll be seen in a private exam room—just like any traditional doctor’s office. But instead of your provider being in the same room, they join you by secure video.

This isn’t your typical video call. With the help of advanced tools—like an internet-connected stethoscope and high-definition camera—our on-site medical assistant helps perform a full physical exam under the direction of your doctor. The result? A personal, thorough visit that feels both high-tech and hands-on.

Care That Goes Beyond the Visit

Troy Medical’s clinic isn’t just about checkups. It’s about keeping you well, every day.

Through Chronic Care Management (CCM), we help patients living with conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure stay on track between visits. Our team coordinates medications, schedules follow-ups, and makes sure nothing falls through the cracks.

We also offer Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM), so we can track key health stats like blood pressure and oxygen levels right from your home. If something looks off, we can intervene early—often avoiding emergency room visits or hospital stays altogether. And yes—both CCM and RPM are fully covered by Medicare.

Why It Matters

This new model of care couldn’t come at a better time. Alaska already faces one of the highest provider shortages in the country, and seniors are often hit the hardest. By combining the best of technology with the warmth of local, in-person support, Troy Medical is helping fill the gap—making sure our community’s seniors don’t just get by, but truly thrive.

If you or a loved one is on Medicare and looking for a better primary care experience, Troy Medical is here to help. Personalized, accessible, and designed just for Fairbanks.

Appointments are available now.
