The Alliance of Community Health Plans and its members improve the health of the communities we serve and actively lead the transformation of health care to promote high-quality, affordable care and superior consumer experience.
The Alliance of Community Health Plans was founded in 1984 as The HMO Group to help independent health maintenance organizations identify and share best practices. The group changed name, appointed new leadership and moved from New Jersey to Washington, D.C., in 2001.
ACHP and its member organizations support policies that ensure access for all to a high value system of care that provides outstanding patient experience. Drawing on our relationships on Capitol Hill and in the Administration, ACHP is elevating the voice of nonprofit, community health plans and shaping policy that builds healthy communities.
