Our Network
We help self-funded employers design custom provider networks – what we call our Smarter Networks℠ – to save them money by partnering with 39,000+ doctors and healthcare providers across the Midwest. And because we’re never satisfied in our pursuit of improving access to High-Value Healthcare, we’re continuing to expand our provider networks to offer employers even more choice, control, and cost-savings.
Self-Funding With The Alliance
Is self-funding right for you? Under a self-funded or self-insured health plan, employers fund the plan rather than paying a premium to a commercial insurer. This means taking on the responsibility - as well as the risks and rewards of paying the medical and prescription drug claims of employees and their families. For many employers, self-funding can be a better alternative to the traditional fully insured approach, driving greater transparency, control, and cost savings. When you choose to self-fund with The Alliance, you get better care at a better price for your employees and your business.
What is Self-FundingAccess to Data Analytics:
We find savings where others can’t – or won’t – using deep data mining and analytics to unlock opportunities like employee guidance.
Cost Management & Savings:
We drive serious savings for our clients through Reference-based Contracting® by The Alliance, bundled payments, pricing, inflation protection, pay-for-performance contracts, and usage-based fees.
Custom Provider Network:
Our network spans nearly 39,000+ healthcare providers across the Midwest. We’ll help you custom-design a Smarter Network to improve quality of care and reduce costs.
Networking & Learning Opportunities:
We hold educational meetings to help our clients stay current on local and national healthcare issues. We also host networking opportunities for clients to share best practices.
Not-for-Profit Cooperative:
Because we’re client-owned and led, our priorities are your priorities. We use our financial resources to help you achieve better value for your healthcare dollars, focusing on your bottom line – not ours.
Find a Doctor Tools:
For more convenient “shopping,” Find a Doctor also provides cost, and safety comparisons for more than 70 procedures.
