agilon health

agilon health, founded in 2016, is a health-care company that partners with primary care physicians to move them from fee-for-service payment to value-based care. Working chiefly with Medicare patients, the firm supplies physician groups with capital, data, payor relationships, executive experience and contract support, allowing them to take on total-cost-of-care risk while remaining independent.

Its Total Care Model is an integrated global risk business model that links independent physician groups in a single network and brings together the components of total care for their most vulnerable patients on one platform. The associated Physician Partnership Platform provides the underlying capital, analytics and payor contracting capabilities. Technical work spans a health-care data and analytics platform, value-based care enablement, total cost of care risk management and payor contract management.

The company's physician partners cover approximately 650,000 Medicare patients across 12 states in the United States. agilon health describes its approach as long-term partnership with local physicians, emphasising physician independence and improvement in outcomes rather than the volume of services billed.
