Agilon Health (NYSE:AGL) is a healthcare services company focused on transforming primary care for Medicare beneficiaries through value-based partnerships with independent physician practices. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Newport Beach, California, Agilon’s model enables primary care physicians to shift from a fee-for-service framework to a capitated, risk-based arrangement. This alignment encourages proactive management of patient health and supports physicians with enhanced care coordination, advanced analytics and administrative services. By providing a tailored suite of operational support, Agilon aims to improve patient outcomes, reduce unnecessary hospitalizations and control healthcare costs for seniors.
Central to Agilon’s offerings is its proprietary technology platform, which integrates claims data, clinical information and population health analytics. This system generates actionable insights that physicians and care teams use to identify at-risk patients, address care gaps and manage chronic conditions. Agilon also deploys care management professionals who work alongside physicians to coordinate interventions, facilitate specialist referrals and support patient education. Through these comprehensive services, Agilon seeks to deliver a patient-centric approach that emphasizes preventive care and chronic disease management.
Agilon Health operates in multiple U.S. markets, including Southern California, the Bay Area, Florida, Texas, Illinois and Arizona. In each region, the company forms long-term agreements with local physician groups, enabling them to retain clinical autonomy while benefiting from Agilon’s capital resources and infrastructure. These collaborations have expanded access to coordinated care for Medicare Advantage members and have fostered closer alignment between primary care providers and value-based payment models.
Under the leadership of President and CEO Rick Shinto, Agilon Health has grown its network of affiliated practices and refined its value-based care model to address the evolving needs of seniors. The company’s executive team combines healthcare operations experience, actuarial expertise and technology development skills. Together, they aim to support independent physicians in delivering high-quality, cost-effective care and to drive the broader transition of the U.S. healthcare system toward population health management.
