Alaska's schedule of losses is defined in AS 23.30.190(20). Unscheduled injuries, such as back and neck, are compensated based on an impairment rating to the whole person, typically determined using the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment. Temporary total disability benefits are paid during the continuance of the disability until maximum medical improvement (MMI), without a fixed statutory maximum number of weeks.
