Firm Profile:
Founded in 2014, Aledade offers a new model of primary care that keeps physicians right where they want to be: building strong, impactful relationships with their patients. Aledade has grown rapidly and currently partners with hundreds of practices responsible for nearly 1.7 million patients across 37+ states to support the delivery of seamless, affordable, high-quality care.

Whether you’re a solo physician in a rural community or a community health center in the heart of the big city, value-based care can work for you. We partner with primary care, FQHC, and multispecialty groups of all shapes and sizes, because better quality and lower costs are attainable for everyone.

You want to deliver the best possible care for your patients. That’s our goal, too. Aledade offers primary care providers access to cutting-edge data analytics, user-friendly guided workflows, unparalleled regulatory expertise, strong payer relationships, and local, hands-on support from attentive experts. Our goal is to make it simple for your primary care practice or community health center to participate in value-based care while improving outcomes for patients and supporting a cost-effective, high-value healthcare system for your community.

Independent primary care providers and community health centers who want to participate in the Medicare Shared Savings Program, other government programs, or available commercial contracts can join an Aledade accountable care organization (ACO) with other healthcare providers in their region.

How Does it Work?
Independent primary care providers and community health centers who want to participate in the Medicare Shared Savings Program, other government programs, or available commercial contracts can join an Aledade accountable care organization (ACO) with other healthcare providers in their region.
Our team has simplified the complex goal of generating ACO savings by focusing on a few targeted initiatives that further our population health goals and have savings potential. These areas of attention are the top priorities for ACO work and practices and that excel in these four competencies tend to have positive health outcomes and achieve savings.
