This year, the Alliance celebrates 30 years serving our local communities. We are proud to be your local Medi-Cal health plan! Thank you for trusting us to provide accessible, quality health care guided by local innovation.

We started serving Santa Cruz County in 1996. Over the years, we’ve grown to Mariposa, Merced, Monterey and San Benito counties. We now serve over 434,000 members across 5 counties! In 2025, we earned full Health Plan and Health Equity Accreditation from the National Committee for Quality Assurance.

1 out of 3 people in Mariposa, San Benito and Santa Cruz counties are Alliance members. 1 out of 2 people in Merced and Monterey counties are Alliance members.

Meeting members where they’re at

We have a diverse staff that is dedicated to serve you. We also have a group of over 14,000 providers to meet your health care needs. We strive to offer compassionate and culturally appropriate care for all stages of life and health conditions.

Helping members keep their Medi-Cal

Medi-Cal changes are happening. We are working hard to help you keep your coverage. We want to make sure our members get the care they need. If you renew on time, live in California and still meet Medi-Cal rules for income, you can keep your Medi-Cal! Learn more on our Medi-Cal changes page.

Thank you for 30 years! We are committed to our vision of healthy people, healthy communities. We look forward to continuing our mission for years to come.
