Important Information on Health Alliance
On February 25, 2025, Health Alliance announced they would be closing their commercial insurance activities at the close of calendar year 2025. When the Illinois Department of Central Management Services (CMS) learned of this exit during the announcement by Health Alliance, CMS collaborated with Health Alliance to determine the best step forward for our members to ensure a smooth transition. As a result, the decision was made that CMS will terminate its relationship with Health Alliance effective July 1, 2025. This decision does affect you as a current Health Alliance enrollee.
