Who we are
The International Federation of Health Plans was founded in 1968 by a group of health insurance industry leaders, and is now the leading global network of the industry, with one hundred member companies in 25 countries. We aim to assist in the maintenance of high ethical and professional standards throughout the industry.
The iFHP is governed by the Council of Management under our current President George Halvorson Chairman and CEO of Kaiser Foundation Health Plan.
Membership
Federation members are companies of good standing who offer a range of health insurance products to their host population.
A major asset of the Federation is its membership network. Health Plans in different countries share many of the same challenges and problems, and the desire to exchange expertise and arrive at common solutions unites iFHP members as a distinct and cohesive group. A prestigious membership list ensures that our members have access to relevant contacts, both at home and internationally.
