America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) is the national trade association representing the health insurance industry.
AHIP’s members provide health and supplemental benefits to more than 200 million Americans through employer-sponsored coverage, the individual insurance market, and public programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. AHIP advocates for public policies that expand access to affordable health care coverage to all Americans through a competitive marketplace that fosters choice, quality and innovation.
In every community, health plans are working to improve the health of more than 200 million Americans, while providing peace of mind and financial protection from the high cost of medical care. Health plans employ or contract with tens of thousands of physicians, hospitals, laboratories and other health care providers to offer Americans wide choice and access to quality care.
Because they partner or interact with every other part of the system, health plans are best able to see how the system is performing from the ground up. This gives health plans a unique view across the entire system – what works and what needs improvement.
