Our Total
Care Model.

Primary-care physicians are agents of change in health care. Our platform helps independent physicians to improve care for Medicare members and participate in the benefits of improving health outcomes. As the platform of physicians and members scales up and quality grows, so do the potential cost savings from improving care. agilon shares in the outcome with its physician groups in a long-term partnership model.

Health care benefits when primary-care physicians are empowered to manage the outcomes and total health needs of Medicare patients. Yet the traditional fee-for-service model does just the opposite. It rewards doctors to narrowly focus on one unit of care rather than influencing health behaviors, overall care, and cost management.

Today’s physicians must overcome enormous obstacles to even consider a total-care model. They do not have the necessary underlying contracts with payors. They do not have time, capital, or access to the expertise necessary to assume responsibility for their patients’ total needs. They burn out in a system that rewards the volume of patient visits, not the quality of the care.

That is why agilon exists. We partner with these community-based physician groups and eliminate the obstacles through the expertise of our people, our unified platform, our processes, and our capital. We thrive because we empower the people who deliver patient care: the primary-care physicians.

The relationship that patients have with their primary-care doctor is paramount. It is only strengthened when those doctors team up with agilon because physicians can devote more time to patients and focus on their total well-being, from early interventions to treatment. This is an entirely different model of health care. It rewards engaging with patients and anticipating their needs, with no incentives to focus on fees, tests, and appointment volumes. Patients who might otherwise find themselves navigating a complex, fractured system on their own instead get coordinated care – led by the doctor they know, empowered by agilon support. And the numbers back it up, with patients spending more time in wellness visits and less time in the hospital.

The agilon model connects payors, physicians, and patients through one platform of clinical and financial management. As its base of physician partners grows, agilon and its partners are better positioned every year to serve a growing Medicare population and reduce costs. Payors also benefit from partnering with agilon, given its values and mission: to transform health care with exceptional community physicians and a clear focus on outcomes, not fees.
