But sometimes you might not be. When that’s the case, we want to hear about it. If you are not happy with a provider or the provider’s office, it’s best to talk to them first. Let someone in the office know what happened. Ask him or her for help fixing the problem. The same goes if you are not happy with your experience in a hospital or other facility. Ask to speak with a nurse, social worker or patient advocate. If you are getting a bill for services covered by the Alliance, call the billing department at the number on your statement. Let them know what insurance you have. Ask them to bill your insurance. If you would rather talk to us about the problem, we’re here to help.
