Our employer-members purchase stock in The Alliance (to join the not-for-profit cooperative) and pay small fees for our services and access to our Smarter NetworksSM – which encompass 38,000 hospitals, physicians, specialists, and other providers.
The Alliance uses its purchasing power to contract directly with those providers at significantly lower rates (that are almost always contracted as a percentage of Medicare). By joining The Alliance, employer-members also enjoy discounts to our benefits partners, access to regular events and webinars, employee education and outreach initiatives, health policy advocacy, and the opportunity to network and learn from other self-funded employers.
