  • Terms of Service
    A

    These terms and conditions apply to anyone with whom Alignment communicates via text message. You may agree to receive such messages by giving your telephone number as part of an application or other form. Text messaging may include one-time or recurring texts and may relate to the following:

    Health Plan and Wellness Notifications (242872) – Subscribers can sign up to receive health plan and wellness notifications such as plan benefit information, wellness tips and news by texting “JOIN” to 242872.

    Care Quality and Survey Notifications 1 (833) 599-1829 – Subscribers can sign up to receive care quality and survey notifications by texting “JOIN” to 1 (833) 599-1829.

    Appointment Notifications 1 (855) 940-5777 – For certain programs, subscribers can sign up to receive appointment reminders for their scheduled visit. Subscribers can opt-in to receive appointment reminders each time they schedule an appointment or by texting “START” to 1 (855) 940-5777.

    Wellness Reminders 1 (562) 247-9172 – Subscribers can sign up to receive health and wellness reminders by texting “START” to 1 (562) 247-9172.

    To opt-in for text alerts, you must provide your own United States-based mobile phone number. Notify us immediately if your phone number changes. We are not liable for any transmission or communication of information by text that occurred because you did not report that your phone number changed. If your phone number changes ownership without your knowledge, notify us immediately when you become aware of the change. Your consent to use the number you’ve provided applies despite the number being listed on any national or state Do Not Call lists or registries.

    The messages we transmit via SMS are not encrypted. This means these messages may be visible to your mobile phone provider, an intercepting third-party, or whoever has access to your mobile phone. We are also unable to assure the integrity or validity of SMS messages or their contents, as SMS messages may be impersonated, tampered with, or lost in transit. By using these services, you acknowledge that these text messages will be sent in an unencrypted fashion to the mobile phone number you have provided, and that these messages may contain personal information and/or protected health information.

  • When you opt-in to the service
    A

    When you opt-in to the service, we will send you a message to confirm your sign up. Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency will vary based on your use. Text “HELP” for help. Text “STOP” to cancel.

  • You can cancel this service at any time
    A

    You can cancel this service at any time by texting “STOP” to 242872 (to cancel Health Plan and Wellness Notifications), 1 (855) 940-5777 (to cancel Appointment Notifications), 1 (833) 599-1829 (to cancel Care Quality and Survey Notifications) or 1 (562) 247-9172 (to cancel Wellness Reminders). You understand and approve that replying STOP to one texting program will not opt you out of all programs that you are enrolled in. You must reply STOP to each texting program that you no longer want to be a part of. After you send the message “STOP" to us, we will send you a reply message to confirm that you have been unsubscribed. After this, you will no longer receive messages from us relating to the program you have canceled.

    If you want to join again, just sign up as you did the first time and we will start sending messages to you again.
