Welcome to the IHBA Members Only Page
Our Mission
The Iowa Health Buyers Alliance is an association of health 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.
Through the Alliance, purchasers jointly develop and promote the use of smarter buying practices to drive performance improvements in medical care, leading to better outcomes for users, higher productivity for providers, and controlled cost for all: in short, better value and “more for the money”.
The Alliance uses a variety of methods to pursue its mission including conducting education and due diligence/research; provides “scale” to relate to health providers, health plans, and other vendors; carries-out specific action strategies and projects; offers value purchasing options (individual members make own “buy” decisions); and provides health policy voice.
