AHLA memberships stay with individuals, but consolidated billing lets your organization manage them under one invoice and one roster, with no change to member benefits.
Talk with AHLA about consolidated billing
Every AHLA membership belongs to an individual member. That does not change with consolidated billing. What changes is how your organization pays for and keeps track of those memberships.
Instead of each member renewing and paying separately, your organization's AHLA memberships are grouped together. AHLA sends one consolidated invoice covering the members on your roster, aligned to a single renewal cycle. Your administrative team handles one payment and one point of contact, and your members simply keep the full benefits of AHLA membership.
Consolidated billing is an administrative convenience. It simplifies payment and roster management. It is not a discounted membership tier, and it does not change what an individual membership includes.
Your organization's AHLA members are grouped on a single roster. You decide who is on it, and you can add colleagues who are not yet members.
Rather than tracking separate renewals and separate payments, your organization receives one invoice covering the members on the roster.
Memberships on the roster can be aligned to a common renewal month, so renewals are predictable and easy to plan for.
One person at your organization serves as the primary contact for the roster and billing. This is the person AHLA coordinates with on additions, changes, and renewals.
Consolidated billing removes the administrative burden of managing many individual memberships. Your team works from one roster, one invoice, and one renewal cycle, with a single point of contact at AHLA. Adding a new colleague or updating the roster is straightforward, and renewal budgeting is simplified when invoices arrive together.
Members keep the full value of individual AHLA membership. Nothing about the member experience changes with consolidated billing; members continue to receive:
Members simply do not have to manage their own renewal and payment.
AHLA is piloting a Group Profile Portal that gives your organization a single place to view its memberships online. During the pilot, the portal is available to one primary contact per organization, who holds the permissions to view the group profile.
Consolidated billing is designed for organizations with several individuals who are, or want to be, AHLA members. Legal departments, health systems, firms, and other organizations with multiple health law professionals use it to keep everyone's membership current without the administrative overhead of separate renewals.
If your organization has just one or two members, individual membership may be all you need. If you have a team, consolidated billing is worth a conversation.
Getting set up starts with a short conversation. It includes reviewing the members your organization already has with AHLA, adding anyone else you would like to include, confirming your primary contact and renewal timing, and putting the roster and consolidated invoice in place.

Is this a group membership?
No. AHLA memberships are always held at the individual level. Consolidated billing is a way to pay for and manage those individual memberships together, under one invoice and roster.
Does consolidated billing come with a membership discount?
No. Consolidated billing is an administrative convenience, not a discounted rate. It simplifies payment and roster management without changing what an individual membership costs or includes.
How is this different from the Agency Billing Program?
The Agency Billing Program is a separate arrangement with tiered group rates, intended for government groups paying for access to education. Consolidated billing is for organizations grouping their individual AHLA memberships for simpler payment, with no change to membership pricing.
Who can be added to your roster?
Any individual at your organization you would like to include, whether they are already an AHLA member or joining for the first time.
Who manages the account?
Your organization designates one primary contact who coordinates the roster and billing with AHLA and, during the pilot, can view the Group Profile Portal.
What happens at renewal?
Memberships on the roster can be aligned to a single renewal cycle, so your organization receives one consolidated renewal invoice rather than tracking separate renewal dates.
