Aledade, Inc.

Aledade, Inc. is a privately held public benefit corporation founded in 2014 by Dr. Farzad Mostashari, headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland. The company's core business revolves around partnering with independent primary care practices to help them transition to and succeed in value-based healthcare models, primarily by organizing them into Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs). Its mission is to deliver better health outcomes, enhance patient care, and reduce healthcare costs, thereby fostering a healthcare system beneficial for patients, practices, and society.

Aledade provides a comprehensive platform that includes data analytics, guided workflows, healthcare policy expertise, and established payer relationships. The company's technology integrates with Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and practice management software to consolidate patient data, offer actionable insights at the point of care, and streamline administrative tasks. Services extend to administrative support, regulatory compliance, financial management, and on-the-ground coaching to optimize practice workflows. Aledade operates within the HealthTech and Healthcare IT market segments, focusing on the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) and expanding into Medicare Advantage and commercial health plans. Currently, Aledade supports over 20,000 clinicians across 2,400 practices and community health centers in 46 states and Washington D.C., serving nearly 3 million Medicare patients.

Under the leadership of co-founder and CEO Dr. Farzad Mostashari, Aledade has established itself as the nation's largest network of independent primary care and a leading enabler of physician-led ACOs, holding a significant share of the MSSP/ACO market. Recent achievements include securing a $500 million senior secured credit facility in December 2025 to fuel continued growth. In 2024, Aledade's MSSP ACOs generated $1 billion in savings, with 93% achieving shared savings, and in 2023, the company saved Medicare over $800 million. The company expanded its network by adding over 700 new primary care organizations for 2026 and acquired the Michigan-based value-based care operations of CCA Holding Company in June 2025.
