Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization	Organization Evolent Health, Inc. was incorporated in December 2014 in the state of Delaware, and is a managed services firm that supports leading health systems and physician organizations in their migration toward value-based care and population health management. The Company’s services include providing our customers, who we refer to as partners, with a population management platform, integrated data and analytics capabilities, pharmacy benefit management (“PBM”) services and comprehensive health plan administration services. Together these services enable health systems to manage patient health in a more cost-effective manner. The Company’s contracts are structured as a combination of advisory fees, monthly member service fees, percentage of plan premiums and shared medical savings arrangements. The Company’s headquarters is located in Arlington, Virginia. Our predecessor, Evolent Health Holdings, Inc. (“Evolent Health Holdings”), merged with and into Evolent Health, Inc. in connection with the Offering Reorganization, as defined and discussed in our 2016 Form 10-K. Prior to our initial public offering (“IPO”) in June 2015 and the offering reorganization we undertook in connection therewith, Evolent Health Holdings did not control Evolent Health LLC, our operating subsidiary company due to certain participating rights granted to our investor, TPG Global, LLC and certain of its affiliates (“TPG”). However, Evolent Health Holdings was able to exert significant influence on Evolent Health LLC and, accordingly, accounted for its investment in Evolent Health LLC using the equity method of accounting through June 3, 2015. Subsequent to the offering reorganization which occurred on June 4, 2015, (the “Offering Reorganization”), the financial results of Evolent Health LLC have been consolidated in the financial statements of Evolent Health, Inc. As of March 31, 2017, the Company owned 83.9% of the economic interests and 100% of the voting rights in Evolent Health LLC, and is the sole managing member of Evolent Health LLC. Since its inception, the Company has incurred losses from operations. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $104.3 million. The Company believes it has sufficient liquidity for the next twelve months as of the date the financial statements were available to be issued.
