The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) considers AltaMed Health Services Corporation and its providers as Public Health Services employees, providing malpractice liability protection under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). This coverage extends to AltaMed Health Services and its (1) officers; (2) governing board members; (3) full- and part-time employees; and (4) contractors who are licensed or certified individual health care practitioners. FTCA coverage is similar to a "per occurrence" policy without a limit on how much money is awarded. Therefore, any coverage limits that may be mandated by other organizations are met.

"Reasonable" modification AltaMed Health Services Corporation may allow the reasonable modification of our transportation policies to accommodate the special needs of persons with disabilities, in order to allow them to fully utilize van transportation services. Whenever possible a request for a reasonable modification or accommodation shall be filed in advance to the Director of Transportation by email at MarcMartinez@altamed.org, by telephone at (323) 890-8767, or by mail at 5255 Pomona Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90022.
Requests for reasonable modifications or accommodations will not be approved if the request would: fundamentally alter the nature of the service, program, or activity; create a direct threat to the health or safety of others; result in an undue financial and administrative burden; or the individual would still be able to fully use the services provided by AltaMed Health Services Corporation without the modification. Individuals with disabilities may file complaints regarding reasonable modification or accommodation with AltaMed Health Services Corporation’s Member Service’s Department by telephone at (866) 880-7805.
