agilon health, inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AGL">AGL</a>), the trusted partner empowering physicians to transform health care in our communities, announced that its Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) achieved $229 million in gross savings (13.6% gross savings rate), including $54 million savings in the Medicare Trust Fund, during the 2024 performance year of the ACO Realizing Equity, Access and Community Health (ACO REACH) model. agilon’s eight REACH ACOs operate under full risk, and in 2024 were responsible for the total cost and quality of care for approximately 121,000 Traditional Medicare beneficiaries.


"agilon health is redefining what’s possible in senior care. By helping physicians embrace full-risk models, we’re transforming the shift to value into real-world impact — better outcomes, lower costs and greater access," said Dr. Karthik Rao, chief medical officer at agilon health. "As ACO REACH is currently the only full-risk program within Traditional Medicare, we remain deeply supportive of ACO REACH and its vital role in strengthening local primary care and empowering physicians to deliver truly holistic care for the seniors who depend on them."


For the 2024 performance year, the average quality score for agilon’s eight REACH ACOs was 96%. In fact, four of these REACH ACOs attained a 100% quality score. In addition, five attained High Performers Pool status, achieving superior quality results across all four quality measures.


"Our long-standing partnership with agilon health has truly transformed the way we care for our patients," said Dr. John Notaro from the Buffalo Medical Group, a participating physician in the ACO REACH program. "By embracing full-risk models, we’ve been able to focus more on preventive, personalized care for our seniors. The savings generated through ACO REACH have allowed us to reinvest directly into our practice — expanding care teams, enhancing technology and developing clinical care programs that are making a real difference in the experience and health of the patients and families we serve."


In 2024, agilon’s REACH ACOs included 1,500 primary care physicians (PCPs) operating across 13 communities in Hawaii, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas. Since joining the ACO REACH model in 2021, agilon’s REACH ACOs have achieved $510 million in gross savings, including $125 million in total savings to the Medicare Trust Fund. Of note, agilon also had five ACOs among the top 20 Standard ACOs in gross savings rate.


About the ACO REACH model


The ACO Realizing Equity, Access and Community Health (REACH) model encourages health care providers — including primary and specialty care doctors, hospitals and others — to come together to form an Accountable Care Organization, or ACO. ACOs break down silos and deliver high-quality, coordinated care to their patients, improve health outcomes and manage costs.
