2 • Creating a Realignment Committee consisting of key county officials and agencies, Alliance Health and Cardinal Innovations Health Care representatives, and other appropriate stakeholders. • Creating a Continuity of Services Plan to ensure continuity of services during the transition. Alliance intends to honor current service authorizations, annual plans and other authorizations essential to ensure a smooth transition and intends to honor provider rates following a financial due diligence period that is currently underway. • Engaging the public and stakeholders impacted by the transition. These engagement efforts will include notification to affected providers and Medicaid recipients and those Orange County residents receiving state-funded services through Cardinal Innovations Health Care, and a concentrated effort to solicit comments, feedback and suggestions from consumers, advocates, providers, State and Local Consumer and Family Advisory Committees (CFACs), and other interested parties. The engagement efforts will use a variety of communication methods including a dedicated website, mailings, stakeholder meetings, press releases, and social media messaging as appropriate.
