Central California Alliance for Health | Living Healthy | June 2023

Committed to your satisfaction We want you to be happy with your health care and our service. If you ever are not happy, we want to hear about it. You may file a complaint (also called a grievance) if: ■ You are not happy with the care your doctor is providing or how you were treated in the office. ■ You are not happy with your experience in a hospital or other facility. ■ You are getting a bill for services covered by the Alliance. ■ You are not able to get the care you need. ■ You are not happy with the services you get from the Alliance. There are other reasons you might file a complaint. These are listed in your Member Handbook. You may file an appeal if you are not happy with a decision we have made to change or deny services. How to file a complaint or appeal You can file a complaint or an appeal by calling Member Services at 800-700-3874. You can also file a complaint or appeal in writing or through our website at www.thealliance.health/ file-a-grievance. Next steps Once you let us know about your complaint or appeal, we will look into it. We will do all we can to help you. The Alliance is texting members about renewing their Medi-Cal! Medi-Cal renewals are coming soon. You might get a text from us about renewing your Medi-Cal. Update your Medi-Cal! If your county needs information to renew your Medi-Cal, they will send you paperwork to fill out and return. Be sure to give them all the information they ask for by the due date.
