The business assists primary care physicians transition from a traditional “fee for service” model to an outcomes “value-based” model, where incentives are aligned across patients, payers, and providers.

Our conversation covers the founding of agilon, its economics, and CD&R’s entry in the business. We turn to agilon’s start as a novel business concept alongside established traditional capabilities, driving operational change, expanding the model, and preparing the company to go public. We close by discussing the potential to leverage this model across other opportunities in the space.
