Who We Are

The Health Consumer Alliance is a network of ten consumer assistance programs operated by community-based legal services organizations across the state of California.

HCA’s expert healthcare advocates provide in-depth assistance to individual consumers and work in partnership to address systemic issues on a policy level.  HCA’s policy work is supported by the Western Center on Law & Poverty and the National Health Law Program.

HCA advocates provide a full range of confidential legal servicesincluding negotiating with health plans, filing grievances and requests for Independent Medical Review with the State Department of Managed Health Care, and appeals against Medi-Cal and Covered California.

Consumers living in any area of the state can get individual assistance by calling 1-888-804-3536 and providing their zip code.
