IRVING, Texas, May 28, 2019 – The Health Plan Alliance, a national organization for provider-sponsored and independently-owned health plan collaboration, today announced the addition of the LifeBalance Program to its Group Purchasing Organization (GPO).
LifeBalance is a discount network that offers health plan members savings and benefits at more than 20,000 recreational, cultural, well-being and travel-related businesses. Its offerings have shown to improve health plan member loyalty, engagement and well-being. The company has been in business since 1996 and its offerings are available to almost 2,000,000 individuals nationwide.
“We are excited to add LifeBalance to our GPO,” said Jaime González, Alliance chief business development officer. “The LifeBalance Program will provide Alliance member health plans another way to differentiate themselves in their markets and help the individuals in their communities enjoy more of the things they love most – fun family time, the great outdoors, health, fitness, travel, sports, the arts, and above all, a good deal.”
LifeBalance has been a long-time supporter and sponsor of the Alliance and is already providing services to four Alliance member health plans: Providence Health Plan, Health Alliance Medical Plans, FirstCare Health Plans and Community Health Options. Now that LifeBalance is a part of the GPO, Alliance member health plans will have access to exclusive pricing and value-added services with LifeBalance.
“As our name implies, we believe in balance. Like balancing to-do lists with buckets lists. Balancing work with fun,” said Dave Miller, LifeBalance co-founder. “We have many of the same values and goals as the Alliance. We all want to spread health and happiness in the communities we serve. We’ve found that our localized, community-focused networks and our customized engagement strategies can really help health plans encourage well-being and increase member loyalty.”
LifeBalance is hosting a webinar on Thursday, June 27, for Alliance members to learn more about its services and to answer questions. LifeBalance will also be at the Alliance Elevating the Member Experience Value Visit, July 10-12 in Frisco, Texas.
