The Alliance serves as the voice for self-funded employers who want more control over their costs. We provide transparent, creative approaches to network and benefit plan design to unlock savings where others can’t – or won’t – using Smarter Networks and sophisticated data mining and analysis. 

As a not-for-profit cooperative, The Alliance is employer-owned and remains a trusted, objective partner for employers and their brokers who seek improved access to high-quality healthcare.

We work with more than 340 employers across the Midwest and contract with over 38,000 healthcare providers and specialists in the region. Our goal is to help employers better manage their healthcare costs while emphasizing value and creating healthier, more engaged workforces.

The Alliance is celebrating 30 years as a mission-driven and member-owned not-for-profit cooperative.
