Academic HealthPlans (AHP), a division of Risk Strategies Student Health Practice, is one of the largest, nationwide providers of student health advisory brokerage, and plan administration solutions. Our goal is to continually provide extraordinary service, innovative technology, and valuable resources to students and administrators. We were founded in 1998 by Terry Lyons, who continues to provide his expertise to our clients as President & CEO. Terry Lyons has over 30 years of experience in student health and is well trusted by clients in his ability to utilize his industry insights to provide schools and universities with the best benefits available for their students. AHP has over 100 employees, many of whom have long industry tenures and have been with AHP since our beginnings. We currently partner with over 350 colleges and universities with over 425,000 insured members across the United States, and we are continuing to grow each year. As an industry leader, we feel it is important to build strong partnerships with our clients. The dedication and CARE that we offer every client has allowed us to keep 98% of our client base over the years. We have built solid working relationships with many of the most respected insurance carriers in the student health care industry. This allows to negotiate to bring the most affordable plan with the best benefits possible to the schools and students. That flexibility translates to lower out-of-pocket costs for your students and overall plan savings for schools.
