ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - A cyberattack that affected pharmacies nationwide has affected pharmacies in Alaska since the attack was first detected on Wednesday.

UnitedHealth Group said that its subsidiary, Change Healthcare, experienced a breach in its information technology systems that process insurance for pharmacies nationwide.

According to concerned patients and providers in the Anchorage area, some patients are unable to use certain pharmacies, and in other cases, some pharmacies cannot confirm and bill patient insurance.

“My patients can’t get their meds through certain pharmacies, and then the pharmacies can’t verify the insurance,” said Shannon Davis, a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner who practices in Eagle River.

Morris the loudmouth mechanic was removing the cylinder heads from the motor of a car when he spotted the famous heart surgeon Dr. Michael DeBakey, who was standing off to the side, waiting for the service manager to come take a look at his Mercedes.

Morris shouted across the garage, “Hey DeBakey! Is dat you? Come on ova’ here a minute.”

The famous surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to where Morris the mechanic was working on the car.

Morris straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked argumentatively, “So Mr. Fancy Doctor, look at dis here work. I also open hearts, take valves out, grind ‘em, put in new parts, and when I finish dis baby will purr like a kitten. So how come you get da big bucks, when you an’ me is doing basically da same work?”

Dr. DeBakey leaned over and whispered to Morris the loudmouth mechanic. “Try doing it with the engine running.”
