Narrative:

VOR 13L; we were making the turn from dmyhl to land runway 13L. ATC said they got a low altitude alert and told us the altimeter setting. We were surprised of this because we had the correct altimeter setting in; and we were still at the MDA of 800 feet.we acknowledged the correct altimeter setting and the flight continued normally; conditions were VFR.
