The Alliance is an association of purchasers who have come together to identify, evaluate, recommend, and provide access to cost-effective high performance policies, practices, providers, and products for its members. Formed in 2004, the IHBA enables public and private purchasers to jointly develop and promote the use of smart buying practices to drive quality performance for health and value ("more for the money").
