Overview

Unless the context dictates otherwise, references in these notes to the financial statements to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and similar words are references to Astrana Health, Inc. (“Astrana”), formerly known as Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc., and its consolidated subsidiaries and affiliated entities, as appropriate, including its consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”).

Headquartered in Alhambra, California, Astrana is a leading provider-centric, technology-powered, risk-bearing healthcare company. Leveraging its proprietary end-to-end technology solutions, Astrana operates an integrated healthcare delivery platform that enables providers to successfully participate in value-based care arrangements, thus empowering them to deliver accessible, high-quality care to patients in a cost-effective manner. Together with Astrana’s affiliated physician groups and consolidated subsidiaries and VIEs, the Company provides value-based care enablement services and care delivery with its consolidated care partners to serve patients in California, Nevada, and Texas, the majority of whom are covered by private or public insurance provided through Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial, with some portion of revenue from self-pay patients. The Company provides value-based care services to each major constituent of the healthcare delivery system, including patients, families, primary care physicians, specialists, acute care hospitals, alternative sites of inpatient care, ancillary providers, and health plans. The Company’s physician network consists of primary care physicians, specialist physicians, physician and specialist extenders, and hospitalists.

Segments

The Company’s three reportable segments are Care Partners, Care Delivery, and Care Enablement, which are described as follows:

Care Partners

The Care Partners segment is focused on building and managing high-quality and high-performance provider networks by partnering with, empowering, and investing in strong provider partners aligned on a shared vision for coordinated care delivery. By leveraging the Company’s unique care enablement platform and ability to recruit, empower, and incentivize physicians to effectively manage total cost of care, the Company is able to organize partnered providers into successful multi-payer, risk-bearing organizations that take on varying levels of risk based on total cost of care across membership in all lines of business, including Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, Commercial, Exchange, and Medicare fee for service (“FFS”). The Company’s healthcare delivery entities consist of a network of risk-bearing organizations (“RBOs”) that encompass independent practice associations (“IPAs”), accountable care organizations (“ACOs”), and state-specific entities such as Restricted Knox-Keene licensed health plans in California. These entities are tasked with the coordination and provision of high-quality care to patients within Astrana’s ecosystem. This helps provide a seamless continuity of care among patients in different age groups, stages of life, and life circumstances. Beginning in 2024, in addition to participating in the ACO REACH Model, the Company began participating in the Medicare Shared Savings Program (“MSSP”). The MSSP was created to promote accountability and improve coordination of care for Medicare beneficiaries.

Care Delivery

The Company’s Care Delivery segment is a patient-centric, data-driven care delivery organization focused on delivering high-quality and accessible care to all patients. The Company’s care delivery organization includes primary care, multi-specialty care, and ancillary care services. This segment includes the following:

Primary care clinics, including post-acute care services;
Specialty care clinics and inpatient services, including cardiac care, endocrinology, and ophthalmology as well as hospitalist and intensivist services; and
Ancillary service providers, such as urgent care centers, outpatient imaging centers, ambulatory surgery centers, and full-service labs.

Care Enablement

The Company’s Care Enablement segment represents a comprehensive platform that integrates clinical, operational, financial, and administrative information, all powered by the Company’s proprietary technology suite. This platform enhances the delivery of high-quality, value-based care to patients and helps lead to superior clinical and financial outcomes. The Company provides solutions to payers and providers, including independent physicians, provider and medical groups, and ACOs. The Company’s platform meets providers and payers wherever they are on the spectrum of total cost of care, offering solutions for fee-for-service entities to providers open to taking upside and downside risk on professional and institutional spend, and across all patient types, including Medicare, Medicaid, Commercial, and Exchange patients. This segment includes the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries that operate as management services organizations (“MSOs”), which enter into long-term management and/or administrative services agreements with RBOs and other providers. By leveraging the Company’s care enablement platform, providers and payers can improve their ability to deliver high-quality care to their patients and achieve better patient outcomes.
