Becoming an ACHP Member

Membership in the Alliance of Community Health Plans is typically by invitation. However, interested organizations may be considered if they meet the following criteria: 

• Strongly committed to quality improvement and value
  
• Not-for-profit or provider-sponsored
  
• Maintain a closer connection between financing and delivery than prevails in a typical insurance arrangement
  
• Include HMO products among their offerings
  
• Have roots in and commitment to their local community

ACHP members are also among the top-performing plans in their state or region on the HEDIS and CAHPS measures of quality and are united by their commitment to learning from other members and sharing best practices from their own organization. Our members enjoy numerous benefits, which help them identify opportunities, overcome challenges and strengthen their organizations. The many benefits of membership include:

• Expert analysis of important policy and marketplace trends to help members set internal priorities
  
• A powerful voice in the federal policymaking process
  
• Unlimited participation in ACHP programs - the yearly membership fee covers the entire cost of all scheduled Web conferences, conference calls and meetings
  
• Personalized service and attention to members' needs
  
• Unlimited access to quantitative and qualitative research to help members understand and improve clinical, service and financial performance
  
• Unlimited access to our online archive of Web conference recordings, conference call summaries, meeting reports and policy and other documents

Above all else, membership in the Alliance of Community Health Plans is an opportunity to shape the future of health care within your own organization, community and nationally. Click to read more about the benefits of ACHP membership in greater detail. A questions and answers document also discusses membership-related issues.
