| The Alliance is a locally governed non-profit health plan that serves over 210,000 members in Santa Cruz, Monterey and Merced counties. We are a publicly operated regional plan using the State's preferred County Organized Health System (COHS) model of Medi-Cal managed care. Since 1996 the Alliance has worked to improve health care locally for people living in the Central Coast region, and on October 1, 2009 we also began serving people living in Merced County. |
