Aledade Extends Network With Addition of 700 Providers

Aledade has expanded its network by adding more than 700 primary care practices for 2026, as the company points to strong momentum behind the continued growth of value-based care.

The value-based care enablement firm now supports more than 3,000 primary care organizations nationwide, collectively serving over 3 million patients through programs such as the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP), Medicare Advantage, Medicaid and commercial value-based contracts. According to company executives, Aledade partners with clinics, independent practices, community health centers and health systems across a wide range of care environments, from urban centers to rural communities, spanning 46 states and Washington, D.C.

Mat Kendall, co-founder and president of Aledade, said that clinicians across the country, regardless of organization size or location, are highly motivated to be compensated for delivering strong patient outcomes, and that value-based approaches are now producing results. He said Aledade’s growth spans a wide range of settings, from small physician groups to large hospital systems and community health centers in diverse states, but that a shared priority unites them: improving patient care while being fairly rewarded for that effort.

Kendall added that many physicians have grown exhausted by fee-for-service pressures that require increasing volume and constant acceleration and are seeking a return to the core purpose that drew them to medicine. He said Aledade enables doctors to focus on delivering high-quality care while aligning financial incentives with that goal.

Co-founder Farzad Mostashari said the organization’s consistent execution and track record over the past decade position it as a natural option for practices of any size that have not previously participated in the Medicare Shared Savings Program and are looking to transition into value-based care. He said that experience and reliability often make Aledade the default partner for groups taking that step.

Mostashari also said the company reached $1 billion in revenue in 2025 and is prioritizing stronger profitability in 2026. He explained that while Aledade plans to sustain solid top-line growth, it is increasingly focused on allocating revenue toward research, development and expansion while accelerating improvement on the profitability front. He added that the company was comfortably profitable last year and is aiming not only for continued revenue growth but for even faster gains in EBITDA.

In December, Aledade put a $500 million senior secured credit facility in place, led by Ares Credit funds, to help finance its ongoing expansion. The company said the facility includes an option to increase borrowing capacity to as much as $650 million, effectively doubling Aledade’s existing committed financing, according to a press statement.

The company’s continued growth coincides with a broader rise in the number of Medicare beneficiaries receiving care through accountable care organizations, based on recently released data from the Trump administration.

Aledade’s leadership says the company’s expansion is helping drive broader adoption of value-based care across CMS’ primary Medicare Shared Savings Program. In 2026, Aledade supports roughly one in five new organizations entering the MSSP, accounting for nearly 20% of all participants in the program overall.

Aledade’s Nationwide Network Growth

The recent update from Aledade shows that the company now serves over 3,000 primary care partners caring for more than 3 million patients through value-based care arrangements.

The addition of 700 providers marks one of the largest single-year expansions in the organization’s history. This growth further strengthens its ability to support independent primary care practices as they transition to value-based payment models that prioritize outcomes over volume. By expanding its clinical footprint, the company is positioning itself to manage care for millions more patients under accountable care arrangements.

Industry analysts note that this expansion comes at a critical time when healthcare systems are facing mounting cost pressures and workforce shortages. By equipping practices with data analytics tools, care coordination resources, and administrative support, the organization helps clinicians focus more on patient care and less on paperwork. These infrastructure investments have consistently led to improved quality metrics and shared savings performance in federal and commercial programs.

The new providers joining the network span urban, suburban, and rural communities, increasing access to coordinated primary care in medically underserved regions. Many of these practices are participating in Medicare Shared Savings Program models and other alternative payment arrangements designed to reward preventive care and chronic disease management.
