Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of agilon health, inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and both joint ventures and VIEs that it controls through voting rights or other means. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. All adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments unless otherwise indicated), which the Company considers necessary to present fairly its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

Management is required to make estimates and assumptions in the preparation of financial statements. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates can include, among other things, those used to determine revenues and related receivables from risk adjustments, medical services expense and related payables (including the reserve for incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) claims), and valuation of long-lived assets, goodwill and intangible assets (acquired in business combinations and analysis of impairment). Management’s estimates for revenue recognition, medical services expense, and other estimates, judgments, and assumptions, may be materially and adversely different from actual results. These estimates are based on knowledge of current events and anticipated future events, and accordingly, actual results may ultimately differ materially from those estimates.

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s gross carrying amount of property and equipment was $33.2 million and $29.5 million, with accumulated depreciation of $11.1 million and $9.4 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $1.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively, in depreciation expense, which is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company determined the income tax provision for interim periods using an estimate of the Company’s annual effective tax rate, applied to year-to-date results, adjusted for discrete items arising in that quarter. In each quarter, the Company updates its estimated annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated annual effective tax rate changes, a cumulative catch-up adjustment is recorded in that quarter. The Company applied the intra-period tax allocation rules to allocate income taxes between continuing operations and discontinued operations as prescribed in U.S. GAAP, where the tax effect of income (loss) before income taxes from continuing operations is computed without regard to the tax effects of income (loss) before income taxes from the other categories.

Medical Services Revenue

Medical Services Revenue

Medical services revenue consists of capitation fees under contracts with various Medicare Advantage payors (“payors”). Under the typical capitation arrangement, the Company is entitled to monthly per-member, per-month (“PMPM”) fees to provide a defined range of healthcare services for Medicare Advantage health plan members (“members”) attributed to the Company’s contracted primary care physicians. PMPM fees are determined as a percent of the premium payors receive from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (“CMS”) for these members. The Company generally accepts full financial risk for members attributed to its contracted primary care physicians and therefore is responsible for the cost of all healthcare services required by those members. Fees are recorded gross in revenue because the Company is acting as a principal in coordinating and controlling the range of services provided (other than clinical decisions) under its capitation contracts with payors. Capitation contracts with payors are generally multi-year arrangements and have a single performance obligation that constitutes a series, as defined by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (“ASC 606”), to stand ready on a monthly basis to provide all aspects of necessary medical care to members for the contracted period. The Company recognizes revenue in the month in which eligible members are entitled to receive healthcare benefits during the contract term.

The transaction price for the Company’s capitation contracts is variable, as the PMPM fees to which the Company is entitled are subject to periodic adjustment under CMS’s risk adjustment payment methodology. CMS deploys a risk adjustment model that determines premiums paid to all payors according to each member’s health status and certain demographic factors. Under this risk adjustment methodology, CMS calculates the risk adjusted premium payment using diagnosis data from various settings. The Company and healthcare providers collect and submit the necessary and available diagnosis data to payors and such data is utilized by the Company to estimate risk adjustment payments to be received in subsequent periods. Risk adjustment-related revenues are estimated using the most likely amount methodology and amounts are only included in revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur once any uncertainty is resolved. PMPM fees are also subject to adjustment for incentives or penalties based on the achievement of certain quality metrics defined in the Company’s contracts with payors. The Company recognizes incentive revenue as earned using the most likely amount methodology and only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur once any uncertainty is resolved.

Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates is a registered insurance company because state law in the states in which it operates does not require such registration for risk-bearing providers.

Receivables

Receivables

Receivables primarily consist of amounts due under capitation contracts with various payors. Receivables due under capitation contracts are recorded monthly based on reports received from payors and management’s estimate of risk adjustment payments to be received in subsequent periods for open performance years. Receivables are recorded at the amount expected to be realized.
