Why independence matters to your costs
Most primary care doctors today work for hospital systems. Those systems earn more when patients get tests, procedures, and specialist visits inside the system, even when a better or cheaper option exists nearby.
Independent doctors have no financial reason to keep patients inside a hospital system. They refer based on what the patient needs and what the care costs. They have time to manage chronic conditions before they lead to the ER or a hospital stay.
The problem has been reach. Independent practices are small and spread out. Contracting with them one by one isn't practical for a national employer. Aligned solves that with one contract.

Aligned brings independent doctors together into a single, carefully curated marketplace. Every doctor is vetted, and every practice is held to a consistent standard of care.
Doctors paid to keep members healthy.
Independent advanced primary care doctors offer a depth of care that goes well beyond the annual physical, with more time per member and real attention to the conditions that drive cost.
We get your members into care before their costs climb.
We find rising-risk members, reach out personally, and get each one set up with a doctor and a first visit booked, before conditions become expensive.
We put our own fees on the line for your results.
Aligned ties its fees to measurable outcomes, so we only succeed when your costs come down. It is the difference between a marketplace that introduces you to doctors and one that answers for them.
