How do I choose a primary care provider (PCP)?

Having a doctor (also called a primary care provider or PCP) that you can trust and talk to is very important to your health. You can find a list of PCPs who are in our network in the Alliance Provider Directory. You can choose any PCP who is accepting new patients.

To submit your choice, please log in to your online Alliance Member Portal or call:

Your new choice will become your PCP on the first day of the next month after you make the change.

You can choose a new PCP at any time for any reason. The PCP you pick must be taking new patients. If you need help choosing a PCP, please let us know.

You may also choose a county clinic or a community health clinic that is part of the Alliance network as your PCP. All Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) in Alameda County are part of our network.

If you change PCPs, you will get a new Alliance member ID card in the mail within 10 business days. It will have the name of your new PCP.
