Accountable Health Plan AHP Glossary Home Under the Managed Competition Act, providers and insurance companies would be encouraged (through tax incentives) to form AHPs, similar to HMOs, PPOs, and other group practices. AHPs would compete on the basis of offering high-quality, low-cost care and would offer insurance and health care as a single product. They would be responsible for looking after the total health of members and reporting medical outcomes in accordance with federal guidelines.
